Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) now applies across the EU. PSL helps you establish responsibility, build the evidence behind the declaration of conformity, and decide what needs to change across your packaging portfolio.
Where most conversations begin
We look at what you sell, where you sell it, who fills or imports the packaging, and how your supply chain works. Then we explain which role—or roles—your company has and what follows from that.
A clear view of your role and responsibilitiesWe can help you create the declaration of conformity and assemble the technical file that supports it. We identify which packaging types are in scope, structure the required evidence, define what to request from suppliers, and set up the internal review.
A prepared declaration and supporting technical fileWe turn the PPWR timeline into a packaging strategy. We identify what is urgent, what can be sequenced through normal redesign and investment cycles, and where development work should begin now. This helps you use the time to 2030 deliberately instead of reacting to a new deadline every 12 to 18 months.

Book a 30-minute callTell us what you sell, where it goes, and what is unclear, urgent, or holding a decision back.
We establish what applies and which evidence, decisions, or packaging changes are needed.
Together, we agree the right scope—from a focused answer or declaration support to portfolio guidance and hands-on implementation.
What it feels like to work with PSL
Felix and PSL helped us fully understand the regulatory landscape and translate it into clear priorities, concrete next steps, and a robust long-term direction. Felix became part of our strategy process rather than simply providing analysis.

We are absolutely satisfied with the competent and committed support we received from PSL. We were particularly impressed by the rapid understanding of our specific requirements and the close coordination with the relevant functional departments.
Sabine BendenManaging Director · Zentis Fruit Solutions GmbHPPWR FAQ
The PPWR applies to packaging placed on the EU market, whether empty or filled and regardless of material or origin. Your responsibilities depend on your role, where the packaging is sold, and how it moves through the supply chain. That is why we begin with your specific situation rather than a generic checklist.
The answer depends on what your company does with the packaging and packaged product, where the company is established, whose name or trademark appears on the packaging, and which market receives it. One company can also have different roles for different products or markets. We map the actual supply chain before assigning a role.
It is the manufacturer’s formal statement that the packaging meets the applicable PPWR requirements. It must be supported by technical documentation. A declaration is therefore not just a form to sign—the evidence behind it is the important part.
Yes. We can prepare the declaration document and assemble the technical file behind it, including the packaging types in scope, required evidence, supplier information, and internal review process. The manufacturer remains responsible for demonstrating compliance, approving the document, and signing the declaration.
Not necessarily. First establish your role, immediate obligations, and documentation gaps. A wider portfolio assessment becomes useful when you need to prioritise many packaging formats, prepare for future recyclability requirements, or coordinate changes across markets and suppliers.
