PPWR: packaging compliance, step by step
Separate legislation. Separately scoped support. PPWR (EU) 2025/40 is not part of the EU Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. A CPSR, PIF, CPNP notification or cosmetic Responsible Person appointment does not establish PPWR compliance. Our PPWR services are separately scoped and quoted; they are not automatically included in cosmetics compliance work.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 generally applies from 12 August 2026, with further requirements phased in over the coming years. It covers packaging of all materials, including cosmetic containers, outer boxes and delivery packaging.
What it aims to change
Less unnecessary packaging and waste, better recyclability, more reuse and recycled plastic content, and clearer sorting information.
What to do now
Map your packaging, markets and legal roles. Review current documentation and EPR duties, then plan for later labelling and design requirements. Deadlines vary by measure and packaging category.
How ComPhiCo helps
Packaging gap reviews, supplier evidence, technical-file and declaration support, label checks, EPR coordination and a practical implementation roadmap.

About ComPhiCo

Meet your compliance contact →Support for Responsible Persons
We provide technical and documentation support for RP workflows. A review or CPSR does not itself appoint ComPhiCo as your Responsible Person.
The responsible entity, territory and any representation arrangement must be agreed separately.
Understand the notification routes →For platforms & marketplaces
Evidence for informed follow-up
Structured listing reviews covering ingredient declarations, visible label information, claims and relevant safety alerts. Findings distinguish observed issues from missing evidence.

Common questions
My supplier documentation is incomplete. Can I still enquire?
Yes. Start with a product list and an inventory of what you have. We can identify gaps and agree which documents are needed before further assessment.
How long does a review take?
Timing depends on the product scope and whether the evidence is complete. We confirm the expected schedule after reviewing the brief; supplier follow-up or testing can affect it.
How is the price determined?
The number of formulas and variants, target markets, document readiness and depth of review determine the quotation. We confirm the scope and fee before starting.
Should I send my full formula in the first enquiry?
No. A brief product description is enough to start. We agree the appropriate way to share confidential formula and supplier documents during follow-up.
