Equipment suppliers exporting to Europe need to pay attention to the PPWR regulation. PPWR is the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, which entered into force on February 11, 2025, and most requirements will apply from August 12, 2026. It will gradually replace the original Packaging Directive, setting more unified and stricter requirements for packaging entering the EU market. For new energy equipment enterprises, compliance is not only about the product itself, but also about packaging such as outer boxes, pallets, wooden boxes, foam, plastic bags, stretch wrap, and cushioning materials. Before entering the EU market, it is recommended to focus on four key tasks: 1. Pre-shipment document pre-inspection: Verify the packaging BOM, materials, weight, test reports and environmental declarations. 2. Role and EPR diagnosis: Confirm who the producer and importer are, and which EU countries require registration and reporting. 3. Compliance infrastructure setup: Establish BOM master table, packaging material mapping, technical documentation TD, and Declaration of Conformity DoC. 4. Annual maintenance: Track regulatory updates, conduct pre-shipment document checks, EPR annual reports and inspection support. PPWR is not a one-time certification, but continuous compliance management throughout the entire packaging lifecycle. Enterprises need to plan and arrange early to avoid impacting equipment delivery.
