Am I affected by PPWR?

Answer a few short questions to find your most likely starting role. This is orientation, not a legal determination — always confirm with your Sustenuto contact.

A few quick questions

Start with where you're established and where you sell — Producer status is assessed per Member State — then tick every statement that applies to your business.

Where is your business established? *

Established in the EU Established outside the EU

Which Member State(s) do you sell packaging or packaged goods into? * Comma-separated, e.g. "Belgium, Netherlands, Germany". Producer registration and EPR fees apply separately in each one.

Do you place packaged goods on the EU market under your own name or trademark?
Do you physically manufacture or convert packaging (or have it made to your design under your brand)?
Do you import packaging or packaged goods from outside the EU into the EU market?
Do you make packaging available on the EU market without being the manufacturer or importer (e.g. wholesale, resale)?
Do you sell packaged goods directly to end users in another Member State (including cross-border e-commerce)?
Do you deliver packaged products directly to the end user in a physical shop or as the last leg of delivery?
Do you supply empty packaging or packaging materials to a manufacturer?
