Cosmed has published a practical guide on the PPWR
Cosmed is providing its members and subscribers with a practical guide to the PPWR, the new European packaging regulation, to help them prepare for their regulatory obligations. Now available, this guide comes at just the right time: the PPWR, which comes into force on 12 August 2026, provides for a phased implementation of its requirements. With this document, Cosmed aims to provide businesses with a clear guide in an increasingly stringent regulatory landscape.
This new European regulation on packaging is shaking up packaging design, with stricter requirements on waste reduction, over-packaging, re-use, recyclability and the use of recycled materials. In a sector where packaging serves as a key differentiator, a means of ensuring product safety and a key image factor, planning ahead has become strategic. Cosmed emphasises this point: preparing well in advance helps to avoid non-compliance, better control costs and safeguard innovations.
