PPWR for manufacturers: Understanding your obligations
Note: This webinar 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 webinar to reflect the latest regulatory developments. In the meantime, we recommend reading our Omnibus deep-dive for up-to-date insights on reporting requirements.
Branded packaging changes everything under PPWR. If your products reach the EU market under your own name or trademark, Article 21 of Regulation (EU) 2025/40 classifies you as the manufacturer, regardless of who actually produces the packaging. That means conformity assessments, technical documentation, and Declarations of Conformity are your responsibility to issue and maintain.
On April 16 at 11:00 CEST, Coolset's sustainability research team will host a 45-minute live session focused on the specific obligations that apply to manufacturers under PPWR. We will draw directly on the Commission's newly released guidance document and FAQs for Regulation (EU) 2025/40 published on March 30, to ensure you have the most current interpretation of who qualifies as a manufacturer and what that means in practice.
You'll leave with a clear view of what your obligations are, what documentation you need to have in place before August 12, 2026, and how to build a compliance process that holds up under authority scrutiny.
In this webinar, we will cover:
→ How the Commission defines "manufacturer" under PPWR, based on the latest guidance and FAQs released on March 30
→ What manufacturers are required to do: conformity assessments, technical documentation, and issuing Declarations of Conformity per packaging type
→ How to structure your documentation process and supplier engagement to meet day-one obligations before August 12
This session is relevant for compliance managers, regulatory affairs leads, and supply chain teams at companies with branded packaging placing products on the EU market.
