Regulamentul PPWR privind ambalajele: Fabricant sau producător? Atenție la încadrare pentru că apar riscuri de neconformare

The PPWR regulation distinguishes between manufacturers and producers, impacting compliance responsibilities. Companies must clarify their roles in the supply chain to ensure legal market entry of packaging. A manufacturer may have the necessary technical documentation but still fail compliance if not registered as a producer in the selling member state. Conversely, registration in the EPR system does not cover technical obligations, which remain solely with the manufacturer. Both sets of obligations are separate and must be fulfilled independently.
