PPWR – Timeline of Obligations

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will start to apply in exactly 100 days, on 12 August 2026. However, not all obligations will take effect on that date. In most cases, the application of the requirements is deferred, or depends on additional legislation in the form of delegated and implementing acts.

To make your preparation for PPWR easier, we have prepared a clear overview of selected key milestones and deadlines related to packaging requirements.

Although the implementation of some measures may still seem far away, the reality is different. Preparing for the new rules requires time, a systematic approach, and a good understanding of what obligations will apply, when they will apply, and to whom. This is why it is important to start familiarising yourself with PPWR requirements already now.

We believe that this clear timeline overview will help you gain a better understanding of what lies ahead and how to prepare for the new rules in time and without unnecessary stress.

If you would like to deepen your understanding of PPWR even further, as our client you can also access a practical PPWR guidance document and a comparison of changes affecting packaging portfolios under the current Waste Act and the PPWR through your membership account.

For any additional questions, we would like to remind you of our dedicated mailbox at ppwr@naturpack.sk, where you can send us your inquiries. We also offer tailor-made individual consultancy services. Do not hesitate to contact us. 😊

We would also like to draw your attention to an upcoming PPWR webinar for our clients, which we plan to hold at the turn of May and June 2026. More detailed information will be published later.

With us, you can keep PPWR under control – all obligations, deadlines, and information in one place.

PPWR does not have to be a threat. With the right partner, it is an opportunity – and we are here to support you every step of the way.
