KEEP THESE WORKSTREAMS DISTINCT
- Battery EPR applies to batteries and has its own responsible-producer and registration analysis.
- Packaging EPR / PPWR concerns packaging or packaged products and its own transaction, national registration and data checks.
- E-bike / scooter product compliance and market eligibility are separate checks again.

REGULATORY STARTING POINTS
Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) applies from 12 August 2026, with provisions and implementation steps that phase over time. The European Commission says existing national packaging EPR registration rules continue to apply while new harmonized registers are established. Identify the responsible producer and obligations for the actual transaction and country; do not assume the exporter, customs importer of record, vehicle importer and packaging EPR producer are automatically the same party. Check current country rules and any recent Commission guidance before placing products on the market.
