Important Updates
For exporters shipping to the EU, the PPWR means you should evaluate your packaging to ensure it meets applicable EU requirements and review your business’ role and responsibilities under PPWR. Depending on your role in the packaging (waste) supply chain, you may need to provide and maintain packaging documentation, verify compliance of your suppliers, support compliance reporting or even finance parcel waste management.
While the PPWR is already effective, penalties for non-compliance will be defined and enforced as of 12 February 2027.
For UPS-supplied packaging, UPS will ensure compliance with its obligations under the PPWR. Customers are responsible for ensuring that they fulfil any regulatory obligations placed on their business.
