[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”354569″]The final EU<\/strong> Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), to be adopted in 2024 and to enter into force in 2025, aims to minimise the environmental impact of packaging<\/strong> . It will focus on promoting recyclability and sustainability and introducing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). This could result in significant changes to the<\/strong> requirements for producers across the European market<\/strong> . <\/p>\n (Expected obligations according to the current version of the Directive)<\/em><\/p>\n Extended producer responsibility can oblige manufacturers and distributors of packaging to bear the costs for the entire life cycle of their packaging. They are therefore also responsible for taking back and recycling. This includes: <\/p>\n In addition, companies must register with the relevant national authorities and report the quantities of packaging placed on the market.<\/p>\n The PPWR is due to come into force in 2025 and may lead to the mandatory appointment of an authorised representative in each EU member state. Every company that exports to different EU countries<\/strong> and does not have its own headquarters in the respective country<\/strong> would then have to appoint a local authorised representative<\/strong> . This representative would assume the company’s obligations, including registration and reporting obligations to the national authorities. This regulation is currently still being discussed. <\/p>\n While the authorised representative model is already known in Austria and Spain, this obligation is expected to apply in all EU countries once the PPWR comes into force. Any company that sells goods to certain EU countries and is not based in the respective country needs a local authorised representative. <\/p>\n Internationally operating companies face major organizational and financial challenges, as there are obligations and requirements in every country that must be met. This is where Interzero comes in: By redistributing responsibilities, companies should be more conscious of their packaging design. The goal is to extend the shelf life of packaging<\/strong> . Many companies cannot map the resources internally to improve sustainable packaging design or seek support from external expertise. With the modular “Made4Circle”<\/a> solution,<\/strong> Interzero offers companies of all sizes support in developing sustainable and recyclable packaging. Our digital portals and solutions make it easier to comply with EPR obligations and reduce administrative effort. <\/p>\n With the right preparation and support from experienced partners such as Interzero as a Europe-wide environmental service provider, all of these challenges can be mastered. Companies should therefore address the issue in a timely manner, as the implementation is extensive. Contact us:<\/strong> For compliance with Austrian law, rely on Interzero Austria.
