PPWR packaging type classification

Note: This guide is based on the original CSRD and ESRS. Following the release of the Omnibus proposal on February 26, some information may no longer be accurate. We are currently reviewing and updating this guide to reflect the latest regulatory developments. In the meantime, we recommend reading our Omnibus deep-dive for up-to-date insights on reporting requirements.

PPWR classifies packaging on three separate axes: structural level, functional subtype, and lifecycle status. This one-page reference maps every Article 3 and Article 11 definition against its legacy equivalent, so your team can classify sales, grouped, and transport packaging without digging back into the regulation each time. Download it, print it, or drop it into your classification workflow.
