PPWR banned packaging formats — the Annex V check

Is your packaging on the banned list?

From 1 January 2030, Article 25 and Annex V prohibit placing six single-use packaging formats on the EU market. A unit that matches any of them cannot be sold here after that date even if every other PPWR article is satisfied. Describe your packaging below — the check runs the same rules our platform applies to a portfolio.
