Regulation (EU) 2025/40· In force 11 Feb 2025· Applies 12 Aug 2026· Reading notebook

Packaging stopped being a wrapper. It is now a regulated product.

包装不再只是外壳。它已经成为一件受监管的产品。

A self-study notebook on the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation — what actually changed, who has to move, and what quietly breaks if you keep repeating the spec that felt right last year.

这是一本关于《欧盟包装与包装废弃物法规》的自学笔记：到底变了什么、谁必须行动，以及如果你继续沿用去年"感觉没问题"的规格，什么会在无声中崩塌。

§ Orientation是什么 / 新法还是更新

New law. Old subject. Completely different physics. 全新的法律，老的主题，但游戏的"物理规则"彻底变了。

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is new legislation, not a light refresh. It replaces Directive 94/62/EC, which governed packaging in Europe for three decades. It was published in the Official Journal on 22 January 2025, entered into force on 11 February 2025, and applies from 12 August 2026.

The single most important word is Regulation. A Directive had to be transposed by each Member State, which is why "packaging compliance" became 27 dialects of the same idea. A Regulation applies directly and identically across the Union. One rulebook, one set of definitions, one declaration of conformity — and far fewer places to hide behind local practice.

The second most important shift: packaging is now treated like any other regulated product. It has design requirements, restricted substances, performance grades, documentation, and market-surveillance consequences. If that sounds like electronics or toys compliance — yes. That is exactly the mental model to import.

《包装与包装废弃物法规》(PPWR) 是一部全新的法律，不是小幅修订。它取代了在欧洲管了三十年包装的 94/62/EC 指令。2025年1月22日在《欧盟官方公报》公布，2025年2月11日生效，自 2026年8月12日 起适用。

最关键的一个词是"法规 (Regulation)"。指令需要各成员国转化为本国法，这就是为什么"包装合规"变成了同一件事的27种方言。而法规在全欧盟直接、统一适用：一套规则、一套定义、一份符合性声明——能躲在"当地习惯做法"后面的空间大幅减少。

第二个转变：包装从此被当作一件受监管的产品来管。它有设计要求、受限物质、性能等级、技术文件，以及市场监管后果。如果这听起来像电子产品或玩具的合规逻辑——没错，这正是你需要搬过来的思维模型。

“If your packaging cannot prove what it is made of, it cannot prove it is legal.”

「如果你的包装无法证明它由什么构成，它就无法证明自己合法。」
§ Scope适用范围与适用产品

It covers all packaging, and almost everyone who touches it. 覆盖所有包装，以及几乎所有接触包装的人。

Packaging types
  • Sales / primary — the bottle, tray, pouch, carton
  • Grouped / secondary — multipack wrap, shelf-ready case
  • Transport / tertiary — cases, pallets, wrap, dunnage
  • E-commerce — the shipping box, mailer, void fill
  • Service — cups, bags, takeaway containers
  • Reusable systems, and packaging components: closures, labels, inks, adhesives, coatings, liners
  • 销售包装（一级）——瓶、托盘、软包、纸盒
  • 集合包装（二级）——多联包膜、上架货箱
  • 运输包装（三级）——外箱、托盘、缠绕膜、填充物
  • 电商包装——快递箱、气泡袋、填充材料
  • 服务型包装——杯、袋、外卖餐盒
  • 可重复使用系统，以及包装组件：盖、标签、油墨、胶粘剂、涂层、内衬
Sectors

Food and beverage, cosmetics, personal and home care, pharma and medical (with specific carve-outs), electronics, apparel, industrial goods, e-commerce and marketplaces, HORECA, logistics and 3PL, retail private label.

Non-EU manufacturers are not outside this. If your product reaches an EU consumer, someone in the chain carries the producer obligation — and increasingly that "someone" will ask you for data you do not yet have.

食品饮料、化妆品、个人与家庭护理、医药与医疗（有特定豁免）、电子、服装、工业品、电商与平台、餐饮酒店、物流与三方仓、零售自有品牌。

非欧盟制造商并不在圈外。只要产品最终到达欧盟消费者手里，链条上一定有人承担"生产者义务"——而这个"有人"会越来越频繁地向你索要你目前还拿不出的数据。

Who is a "producer"

The brand owner or first entity placing packaged goods on a Member State's market — including importers, distributors selling under their own name, fulfilment service providers in some cases, and online sellers.

If you are not established in the Member State where you sell, you generally need an authorised representative for extended producer responsibility in that country. No registration, no legal sale.

指品牌方，或在某成员国市场首次投放带包装商品的主体——包括进口商、以自有名称销售的分销商、某些情形下的履约服务商，以及线上卖家。

如果你在销售所在成员国没有法人实体，通常必须在该国指定生产者责任延伸(EPR)授权代表。没有注册，就没有合法销售。

§ Obligations详细要求（按条款索引）

Eight duties. Every one of them lands on a spec sheet. 八项义务。每一项最后都会落到一张规格书上。

Below, the article numbers are the index — they are the real coordinates you will quote in a supplier email, an audit, or a technical file. Thresholds are simplified for learning; always verify the number against the consolidated text before you write it into a contract.

下面用条款号作为索引——这才是你在供应商邮件、审核、技术文件里真正会引用的坐标。为便于学习，阈值做了简化；在写进合同之前，请务必回到法规正式文本核对数字。

Art. 5 · Substances of concern

Chemistry becomes a gate, not a footnote

Packaging must minimise substances of concern. Hard limits on lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium continue — and from 12 August 2026 PFAS in food-contact packaging is restricted at very low levels (order of 25 ppb for a targeted single PFAS, 250 ppb for the sum, 50 ppm total fluorine).

Grease-proof paper, moulded fibre bowls, popcorn bags, coated board and some release liners are the classic exposure points.

包装必须最小化"关注物质"。铅、镉、汞、六价铬的总量限值继续有效——并且自 2026年8月12日 起，食品接触包装中的 PFAS 被限制在极低水平（单一目标 PFAS 约 25 ppb、总和 250 ppb、总氟 50 ppm 量级）。

防油纸、纸浆模塑餐碗、爆米花袋、涂层纸板和部分离型纸是典型风险点。

Art. 6–7 · Recyclability & recycled content

Design for recycling, then prove the recyclate

From 1 Jan 2030 all packaging must be recyclable, graded A/B/C by design-for-recycling criteria; below grade C (roughly under 70% recyclable by design) it cannot be placed on the market. From 1 Jan 2038 it must also be "recycled at scale".

Plastic packaging must contain minimum recycled content from 2030 — around 30% for contact-sensitive PET, 10% for contact-sensitive non-PET, 30% for single-use beverage bottles, 35% for other plastic packaging — rising sharply by 2040.

自 2030年1月1日 起，所有包装必须可回收，并按"可回收设计"标准分为 A/B/C 级；低于 C 级（设计可回收率大致低于70%）不得投放市场。自 2038年1月1日 起还必须做到"规模化回收"。

塑料包装自2030年起须含最低再生成分——接触敏感型PET约30%、接触敏感型非PET约10%、一次性饮料瓶30%、其他塑料包装35%——到2040年大幅提高。

Art. 10 · Minimisation

Prove you cannot make it lighter

From 2030 packaging must be reduced to the minimum weight and volume necessary for function and safety. Double walls, false bottoms and unnecessary layers used to create perceived value are explicitly out. The burden of justification sits with you, in the technical documentation.

自2030年起，包装必须减到实现功能与安全所必需的最小重量和体积。为营造"高级感"而设的双层壁、假底、多余层数被明确排除。举证责任在你，写在技术文件里。

Art. 12 · Labelling

One harmonised language for sorting

From 12 August 2028, harmonised material-composition and sorting labels apply, with QR codes / digital carriers as the vehicle for detail. Reusable packaging and deposit systems get their own marks. Every artwork file in your portfolio is affected — that is a multi-year queue for design, plates, and print approvals.

自 2028年8月12日 起，统一的材质与分类投放标识开始适用，细节通过二维码/数字载体承载。可重复使用包装和押金回收系统有各自标识。你组合里的每一个包装稿都会受影响——这对设计、印版和印刷确认来说是一个跨年度的排队工程。

Art. 24 · Empty space

Air is now a compliance item

From 2030 the empty space ratio in grouped, transport and e-commerce packaging is capped at 50%. For most e-commerce operations this is the cheapest win in the whole regulation: fewer box sizes, right-sizing, less void fill, less freight.

自2030年起，集合包装、运输包装和电商包装的空隙率上限为 50%。对大多数电商业务来说，这是整部法规里最便宜的一场胜利：减少箱型、按尺寸匹配、少用填充物、少付运费。

Art. 25 + Annex V · Bans

Some formats simply end

From 1 Jan 2030, among others: single-use plastic shrink wrap for multipacks; single-use plastic for fresh fruit and vegetables under 1.5 kg; single-use plastic single-serve condiments, sauces and creamers in hospitality; single-use plastic hotel toiletry miniatures; very lightweight plastic carrier bags.

These are not "reduce" targets. They are the end of a format.

自 2030年1月1日 起，被禁止的包括：多联包的一次性塑料收缩膜；1.5公斤以下新鲜果蔬的一次性塑料包装；餐饮酒店行业的一次性塑料小份调味料、酱料、奶精；酒店一次性塑料洗护小样；超薄塑料购物袋。

这不是"减量"目标，而是一种包装形式的终点。

Art. 29 · Reuse

Loops, with numbers attached

Binding 2030 reuse targets by category — in the order of 40% of transport packaging (pallets, crates, trays, boxes) and 10% of beverages in reusable systems — with higher levels by 2040 and specific rules for grouped and e-commerce packaging. Reuse is a logistics and reverse-flow project, not a packaging project.

2030年按品类设定强制重复使用目标——大致为运输包装40%（托盘、周转箱、托盘盘、箱）和饮料10%采用可重复使用系统——2040年目标更高，并对集合包装和电商包装有专门规则。重复使用是物流与逆向流项目，不是包装项目。

Art. 38 + 43–45 · Paper trail

Conformity, registration, EPR

Before packaging is placed on the market you need technical documentation and an EU declaration of conformity for it. Producers must be registered in national producer registers, report volumes, and pay EPR fees that are modulated by recyclability — good design gets cheaper, bad design gets taxed. Non-established producers appoint an authorised representative.

包装投放市场前，必须具备针对该包装的技术文件与EU符合性声明。生产者须在各国生产者登记系统注册、申报量，并缴纳按可回收性调节的EPR费用——好设计更便宜，坏设计被"课税"。未在当地设立实体的生产者须指定授权代表。

§ Consequence如果不做，会发生什么

The penalty is rarely the fine. It is the shelf you lose. 真正的代价很少是罚款，而是你丢掉的那个货架。

Legal & regulatory

  • No market access. No technical file and declaration of conformity means the packaging — and therefore the product inside it — may not be placed on the EU market.
  • Withdrawal, recall, prohibition. Market surveillance authorities can order corrective action, remove goods, and publish the case.
  • Administrative fines set by each Member State, required to be effective, proportionate and dissuasive. National precedent already exists: Germany's Packaging Act provides for fines up to €200,000 for missing system participation.
  • Blocked registration. No producer register entry or authorised representative = selling illegally, and marketplaces are obliged to check.
  • Green-claim exposure. Calling something "recyclable" that fails the design criteria collides with the Empowering Consumers Directive (EU) 2024/825.

法律与监管

  • 失去市场准入。没有技术文件和符合性声明，这个包装——以及里面的产品——就不得在欧盟市场投放。
  • 下架、召回、禁售。市场监管机构可要求整改、清出货品并公开案例。
  • 行政罚款由各成员国设定，须"有效、相称、有威慑力"。已有先例：德国包装法对未参与回收体系可罚至20万欧元。
  • 注册被卡。没有生产者登记或授权代表，等于非法销售；而平台有义务核查。
  • 绿色声明风险。把不符合设计标准的包装宣称为"可回收"，将直接撞上《赋能消费者指令》(EU) 2024/825。

Commercial & operational

  • Delisting. Large EU retailers will enforce ahead of the law to protect their own compliance; supplier packaging scorecards arrive before inspectors do.
  • EPR fees that punish design. Fee modulation turns a bad structure into a permanent line-item, every year, on every unit.
  • Write-offs. Pre-printed film, plates, cartons and closures bought for a format that becomes illegal in 2030.
  • Recyclate scarcity. Everyone needs food-grade rPET in the same quarter of 2029. Late buyers pay a premium and get allocated last.
  • Capex crunch. Filling-line, tooling and qualification changes for hundreds of SKUs cannot be compressed into one year.
  • Reporting drag. CSRD/ESRS resource-use disclosure and customer questionnaires will ask for the same packaging data you have not yet structured.

商业与运营

  • 被下架。欧盟大型零售商为保护自身合规，会比法律更早执行；供应商包装评分表会比检查员先到。
  • 惩罚坏设计的EPR费用。费用调节会把一个糟糕的结构变成年年、件件都要付的固定成本。
  • 库存报废。为2030年将被禁止的形式而采购的预印膜、印版、纸盒、瓶盖，全部作废。
  • 再生料紧缺。所有人都会在2029年的同一个季度抢食品级rPET。晚下手的人价格更高、配额最后。
  • 资本支出挤压。数百个SKU的灌装线、模具与验证变更，不可能压缩进一年完成。
  • 报告拖累。CSRD/ESRS资源使用披露和客户问卷，要的正是你还没结构化的那份包装数据。

“Repeating last year's spec because it passed last year is now the most expensive habit in packaging.”

「因为去年通过了就照抄去年的规格——这已经是包装行业里最贵的习惯。」

Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister
The real challenge

In practice, the hardest part is not the chemistry or the redesign. It is that packaging data lives in PDFs, emails and one engineer's memory. A mid-sized brand can hold thousands of packaging components across dozens of converters, with inks, adhesives and coatings specified two or three tiers upstream by people you have never spoken to.

PPWR asks a question that data shape cannot answer: for this exact SKU, what is every material, in what mass, from whom, with what evidence?

实际操作中，最难的不是化学，也不是重新设计，而是包装数据散落在PDF、邮件和某位工程师的记忆里。一家中型品牌可能有数千个包装组件、几十家加工厂，而油墨、胶粘剂、涂层是由你从未打过交道的二三级供应商决定的。

PPWR 提的问题，这种数据形态回答不了：就这一个SKU，每种材料是什么、各多少克、来自谁、有什么证据？

The upside nobody markets

Right-sizing boxes cuts material, freight and damage at the same time. Dropping a layer usually cuts cost. Fewer materials mean fewer suppliers, fewer specs, fewer qualifications, fewer things to get wrong. Modulated EPR fees pay you back annually for good design.

This is the rare regulation where compliance and margin point in the same direction — if you move early enough to choose, instead of late enough to be told.

把箱子做合身，同时省下材料、运费和破损。去掉一层通常就是降本。材料种类少了，供应商、规格、验证和出错点都变少。调节后的EPR费用每年为好设计返还真金白银。

这是少见的一部"合规与利润同向"的法规——前提是你早到还能选择，而不是晚到只能被通知。

§ Who moves各方职责：品牌方 / 供应链 / 供应商 / 上游次级供应商

Accountability cannot be purchased. Capability can be built. 责任买不来，能力可以建。

Brand company · the legal producer

§ Capability品牌方应牵头建设的能力与就绪度

Eight things a brand should lead, in this order. 品牌方应牵头的八件事，按这个顺序。

This is a sequence, not a menu. Each step makes the next one cheap; skipping one makes everything after it guesswork.

这是一个顺序，不是一份菜单。每一步都会让下一步变便宜；跳过一步，后面全靠猜。

Step 1
One packaging data spine. SKU → component → material → mass → supplier → evidence. Treat packaging like a bill of materials, because that is what it now legally is.一条包装数据主干。SKU → 组件 → 材料 → 克重 → 供应商 → 证据。把包装当成BOM来管，因为它在法律上现在就是BOM。
Step 2
A design gate with teeth. No new artwork, tool or structure is released without a recyclability grade, a minimisation check and a substance declaration on file.一个真有牙齿的设计关卡。没有可回收等级、减量核查和物质声明在档，任何新包装稿、模具或结构都不放行。
Step 3
Contracts and specs rewritten once, properly. Data delivery format, change notification, certification, right to audit, liability for non-compliant material.合同与规格书一次性改到位。数据交付格式、变更通知、认证要求、审核权、不合规材料的责任划分。
Step 4
An evidence room. Test reports, certificates, chain-of-custody, declarations of conformity — retained, versioned, retrievable in minutes when an authority or a customer asks.一个证据室。测试报告、证书、监管链、符合性声明——留存、版本化，监管机构或客户一问就能在几分钟内取出。
Step 5
Portfolio simplification. Fewer materials, fewer structures, fewer box sizes. Complexity is the thing that makes compliance unaffordable.组合简化。更少的材料、更少的结构、更少的箱型。让合规变得贵得离谱的，正是复杂度。
Step 6
Supply security for recyclate. Qualify food-grade rPET and other recycled inputs now, with volume commitments — before the 2029 scramble sets the price.再生料的供应保障。现在就完成食品级rPET等再生投入的认证并锁量——在2029年的抢货潮定价之前。
Step 7
Money on the table. Model EPR fee scenarios, recyclate premiums, redesign and tooling capex, and the cost of doing nothing until 2029. Put it in the business plan, not the ESG deck.把钱摆上桌。测算EPR费用情景、再生料溢价、重新设计与模具投入，以及"拖到2029年再动"的代价。放进商业计划，而不是ESG汇报。
Step 8
Supplier development, not supplier policing. Run joint workshops with your top converters and their upstream mills. You cannot audit a supply chain into a capability it does not have.做供应商培育，而不是供应商警察。与核心加工厂及其上游材料厂一起开工作坊。你无法把一条供应链"审核"出它本来没有的能力。
§ Examples例子：常识就够用了

Eight ordinary packs, and what stops working. 八个普通包装，以及它们何时不再管用。

None of these need a legal degree. They need someone willing to look at a pack and ask a plain question.

这些都不需要法律学位，只需要有人愿意看着一个包装，问一个朴素的问题。

"Shrink wrap is the cheapest multipack."
The 6-pack in plastic film
用塑料收缩膜的六联包
Single-use plastic grouped packaging is on the 2030 ban list.一次性塑料集合包装列入2030年禁用清单。
Common sense: a wrap whose only job is to hold six identical items together is a job a fibre band, a clip or nothing can do.常识：一层膜唯一的任务是把六个一样的东西绑在一起——纸带、卡扣、甚至不用，都能做到。
"Black looks premium."
The black plastic tray
黑色塑料托盘
Carbon-black pigment is invisible to near-infrared sorters, so the tray is designed to fail the recycling grade.炭黑颜料在近红外分选机眼中是"隐形"的，这个托盘从设计上就注定拿不到回收等级。
Common sense: if a machine cannot see it, no recycling rate will save it. Change the pigment in 2026, not in 2029.常识：机器看不见它，任何回收率都救不了它。2026年就换颜料，别等2029年。
"More layers, better barrier, safer."
The metallised pouch
镀铝复合软包
A multi-material laminate belongs to no recycling stream — and no country's sorting line has a bin for "it depends".多材质复合结构不属于任何回收流——而没有哪个国家的分选线设有"看情况"这一格。
Common sense: ask the barrier question honestly. Mono-material PE or PP with a functional coating often meets the real shelf life you need.常识：诚实回答阻隔到底要多少。单一材质PE或PP加功能涂层，往往就够你真实需要的货架期。
"One box size keeps the warehouse simple."
The e-commerce box, 70% air
七成是空气的电商箱
Empty space ratio above 50% becomes non-compliant in 2030.2030年起空隙率超过50%即不合规。
Common sense: you already pay for that air twice — in board and in freight. This is the cheapest compliance project you will ever run.常识：那些空气你已经付了两次钱——纸板和运费。这会是你做过最便宜的合规项目。
"Guests expect miniatures."
Hotel shampoo minis
酒店洗护小样
Single-use plastic toiletry miniatures in accommodation are banned from 2030.住宿业一次性塑料洗护小样自2030年起被禁止。
Common sense: refillable dispensers with a good pump read as more premium, not less — and cut cost per guest night.常识：手感好的可补充分装器反而更显高级，还降低每客夜成本。
"The mill has always supplied this grade."
Grease-proof bakery paper
防油烘焙纸
If the barrier is fluorinated, it hits the PFAS limits on 12 August 2026 — a 2026 problem, not a 2030 one.如果阻隔层含氟，它在2026年8月12日就撞上PFAS限值——这是2026年的问题，不是2030年的。
Common sense: send one email today asking the mill for a fluorine-free declaration with a test method named.常识：今天就发一封邮件，请纸厂出具写明检测方法的无氟声明。
"Plastic keeps produce fresh."
Apples in a film tray, 1 kg
1公斤薄膜托盘装苹果
Single-use plastic for fresh fruit and vegetables under 1.5 kg is banned from 2030, with narrow exceptions.1.5公斤以下新鲜果蔬的一次性塑料包装自2030年起被禁止，仅有很窄的例外。
Common sense: loose, or fibre net, with the barcode on the fruit sticker — which itself must be compostable from 2028.常识：散装或纤维网袋，条码放在果贴上——而果贴自2028年起本身必须可堆肥。
"Our converter said it's recyclable."
The word "recyclable" on your artwork
包装稿上那句"可回收"
From 2028 the label is harmonised, and an unproven claim is also a consumer-law problem.2028年起标识统一，无法证明的宣称同时是消费者保护法问题。
Common sense: replace the word with three answers — which stream, in which country, at what actual rate.常识：把这个词换成三个答案——哪个回收流、在哪个国家、实际回收率多少。

“This is not a sustainability project. It is product compliance, cost engineering and market access wearing a green coat.”

「这不是一个可持续项目。它是穿了绿色外衣的产品合规、成本工程与市场准入。」

How to use this notebook. It is a study aid written to be read once end-to-end and then argued with. It is not legal advice, and no summary can replace the official text or a competent national authority. Where a number here matters to a decision, open reference 01 and check it yourself — that habit is, in the end, the whole capability.
这本笔记怎么用。它是一份学习材料，适合先从头到尾读一遍，然后拿去被质疑。它不构成法律意见，任何摘要都无法替代官方文本或有管辖权的国家主管机构。当某个数字会影响决策时，请打开参考资料01自己核对——这个习惯，最终就是全部能力所在。
