When does PPWR apply from?

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 entered into force in early 2025 and, as a rule, applies from 12 August 2026. Some requirements are phased in over the following years.

Does packaging made in Poland meet EU requirements?

Yes — Poland is in the Union, so packaging produced in Warsaw is subject to exactly the same rules as anywhere else in the EU.

Why are board and paper the safer choice?

Because they are mono-material: they go into paper collection without separating layers. Laminates and mixed structures are harder to recycle, and EPR fees are meant to reflect that.

Will you produce packaging with the required markings?

We will place sorting symbols, the details of the entity placing the product and any other copy you supply into the print. Deciding what must appear on the packaging stays with the party placing the product on the market.

What is the minimum run and lead time?

500 pcs. Boxes 10–20 working days, paper bags 20–25 working days from artwork approval.

Is this legal advice?

No. We describe the direction of the rules as it affects the choice of material and structure. Details and deadlines are worth confirming against official sources.

If you place a product on the EU market, its packaging falls under the same rules as the product. We produce board and paper packaging in Warsaw — inside the Union: mono-material, structures designed for recycling, print carrying the markings you supply. From 500 pcs.
