Producer responsibility

Producer responsibility: PPWR enters into force on 12 August 2026

The PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) will enter into force on 12 August 2026 and entails new requirements for documentation, traceability and the location of producer responsibility for packaging.

1. Documentation requirements and declaration of conformity

All packaging must be attributable to a declaration of conformity documenting manufacturer information, packaging components, standards complied with, content of substances of concern and the recyclability and reuseability of the packaging.

2. Requirement for unambiguous identification

All packaging must be uniquely identifiable by an identification number. DTE uses ISPM15 numbers as identification numbers, as these indicate the production site in DTE. Together with the invoice and delivery note, the numbers can uniquely identify the packaging.

3. Technical documentation

Technical documentation for each type of packaging, including material and component specifications, is provided on request. Packaging drawings and descriptions will be sent if required.

4. Changed location of producer responsibility

In future, producer responsibility will be placed with the company that has the decisive influence on the design of the packaging. DTE therefore only has producer responsibility for EUR pallets, DS 1/2 pallets and pallet collars without label. Since all other packaging is manufactured to the customer’s specification and request, the customer has producer responsibility for these.

If you have any questions about PPWR and what the changes will mean for you, you are welcome to contact your usual contact person at DTE.
