PPWR Compliance in Every EU Country
With our free PPWR compliance check, you can now easily find out in which EU countries you have obligations under the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) – and how to meet them cost-effectively. Country by country, we show you which registration, EPR licensing and reporting obligations apply to you based on your answers. Including the best providers to help you fulfil them in a legally compliant way.
The Problem: 27 Countries, 27 Different Sets of Rules
If you sell online, you quickly sell across borders. But every new target market brings new packaging obligations: LUCID in Germany, ARA in Austria, Citeo in France, BDO in Poland. Each with its own register, thresholds, labels and deadlines.
Since 12 August 2026, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has raised the bar even further: harmonised producer obligations, new labelling rules and a mandatory authorised representative in countries where you have no establishment.
If you don’t know your obligations, you risk sales bans, legal warnings and fines. And if you research them manually, you’ll lose days digging through official PDFs.
The Solution: Our PPWR Compliance Check
With our free Verpackungslizenz24 PPWR Compliance Check for the EU, you can find out in just a few minutes in which EU countries you are obligated under the PPWR or local packaging laws.
The tool guides you step by step through every country you ship packaging to. So you quickly get the full picture: Where are you obligated? What exactly do you need to do? And where do you stand right now?
