Packaging and waste regulation
The PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) is the new European regulation on packaging that comes into force from 12 August 2026 and brings far-reaching changes for companies that work with packaging.
The impact goes beyond legislation alone. The PPWR affects your processes, responsibilities and the way you collaborate throughout the chain.
The challenge?
Not understanding what is changing, but implementing it correctly and efficiently.
AMNorman helps you translate the PPWR into a workable approach, tailored to your organisation.
What does the PPWR mean specifically for your company?
The PPWR introduces, among other things:
- New obligations regarding conformity and documentation
- Stricter requirements for materials and substances
- Mandatory recyclability of packaging
- A clear redistribution of responsibilities (manufacturer vs producer)
For many companies, this represents a fundamental shift. You may be responsible for your packaging without realising it today.
Our approach: practical, structured and tailor-made
We do not believe in theoretical advice.
Our approach is focused on practical implementation and results.
1| PPWR impact analysis
We map out your situation clearly:
- Which packaging do you use?
- What role do you have (manufacturer, producer, …)?
- Which obligations apply to you?
This gives you a clear overview of your risks and priorities.
2| Structuring data & documentation
PPWR compliance starts with data. We help you with:
- Collecting supplier information
- Structuring packaging data
- Setting up central documentation
3| Conformity assessment
We support you in carrying out conformity assessments for your packaging:
- Testing against PPWR requirements
- Analysis of materials and composition
- Evaluation per packaging unit
4| Building technical files
We guide you through drawing up:
- Technical documentation
- EU declarations of conformity
- Supporting evidence
5| Integration into your organisation
Compliance should not be a standalone project. We ensure:

- Clear internal responsibilities
- Workable processes
Result: a sustainable approach without added complexity.
