No, transition periods exist. PouchDirect advises ordering PPWR-proof pouches now, preventing unsellable stock in the future.
Can I keep using labels or stickers on my pouches?
Yes, but monitor the material. PouchDirect recommends labels made from the same material as the pouch, such as a PE-sticker on a PE-pouch. This keeps the entire package a mono,material and prevents your pouch from ending up in an incinerator due to a "polluting" label.
Does the PPWR apply to small businesses?
Yes, the law applies to everyone placing packaged products on the European market. PouchDirect supports everyone, from the starting coffee roaster to the large purchase manager.
Are recycled materials (PCR) food,safe?
Absolutely, PouchDirect uses only PCR material meeting the strictest EFSA standards. Food safety remains our non,negotiable requirement.
What happens if I fail to comply with the PPWR?
The EU enforces strict rules with fines and potential sales bans. PouchDirect ensures you stay ahead of these risks.
