Labelling/symbols

Who for: all producers and importers of packaging
When: mandatory from 2028, information about the form of the label available in 2026

The PPWR states that the consumer must be able to sort packaging more easily, with the aim of less pollution in the material flows. The following rules have been established for this purpose:

  1. The use of pictograms to specify material composition will be mandatory from 2028 (with the exception of transport packaging and returnable packaging). These pictograms may be supplemented with QR codes. These symbols correspond with symbols attached to collection containers.
  2. There are universal pictograms for returnable packaging and reusable packaging.

The form of the label for these pictograms will be established using an implementing act (expected in 2026).
