Prepare for PPWR Article 6 Compliance
by evaluating your packaging portfolio using design-for-recycling
criteria aligned with the EN 18120 standard series.
PPWR Article 6 Readiness: Why You Need to Act Now
—and What You Can Do Today
The Paradox
PPWR Article 6 recyclability requirements will apply from 2030, but waiting until then won't leave enough time to redesign packaging, validate alternatives, qualify suppliers, and roll out changes across your portfolio.
Act too late and you may not have sufficient time to ensure your packaging remains eligible to be placed on the market.
The Transition: EN 18120: 2026 Series
The EN 18120:2026 series provides a practical starting point. By benchmarking your portfolio using these standards today, you can identify high risk packaging and make changes just in time before it is too late.
It is important to note that the path to compliance is not as simple as it sounds. Gathering data, interpreting the guidelines, and manually assessing thousands of packaging is time consuming, resource-intensive, and difficult to scale.
