PPWR (EU) 2025/40: Rotabil's Carton Packaging Compliance Approach
⚡ Hızlı Özet (TL;DR)
PPWR (EU) 2025/40: Rotabil's approach to recyclable carton packaging, supplier evidence, traceability and EPR information.
The European Union Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) establishes a common framework for packaging design, composition, recyclability and waste management. It entered into force on 11 February 2025 and generally applies from 12 August 2026.
Our carton packaging approach
We use carton-based packaging suitable for established recycling streams. Material selection is assessed through supplier technical data sheets, declarations and, where necessary, test reports. “Recyclable” also depends on local collection and recycling infrastructure and actual use conditions.
Heavy metals under Article 5
PPWR Article 5 sets a 100 mg/kg limit per packaging component for the sum of lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium. Rotabil monitors this requirement through current supplier evidence and material traceability for carton packaging.
PFAS and food-contact scope
The PFAS limits in PPWR apply to food-contact packaging. From 12 August 2026, the thresholds are 25 ppb for any PFAS, 250 ppb for the sum of targeted PFAS where applicable, and 50 ppm for total PFAS including polymeric PFAS. This page is not a food-contact suitability certificate. Any food-contact use requires separate confirmation against the intended use and applicable food-contact legislation.
Validity and traceability
- Supplier declarations and test reports are placed on an annual review and renewal cycle.
- Internal records link published technical information to supplier, product code and lot/batch information.
- Material or supplier changes trigger a renewed document review.
EPR and packaging weight data
Extended Producer Responsibility obligations depend on the market, the parties' roles and local rules. On request, we can share available packaging type and weight data to support customer compliance processes. Reporting and financing responsibility must be assessed for each country.
