“With the application of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the German Packaging Law Implementation Act (VerpackDG), the responsibilities relating to service packaging will change fundamentally. On the one hand, this will concern businesses that use this type of packaging and have their name, logo or brand printed on it. On the other hand, packaging manufacturers, importers and wholesalers may also have to fulfil packaging law obligations, depending on their role in the supply chain. What's more: in most cases, it will no longer be possible to fulfil these obligations by purchasing pre-participated service packaging”, the ZSVR (Central Agency Packaging Register) states.
Companies should therefore clarify who will be considered a producer under the PPWR in the future, as the producer is responsible for financing packaging recycling and fulfilling the associated registration and reporting obligations.
