Packaging compliance
PPWR assessment & implementation support
Separate legislation. Separately scoped support. PPWR (EU) 2025/40 is not part of the EU Cosmetic Products Regulation (EC) 1223/2009. A CPSR, PIF, CPNP notification or cosmetic Responsible Person appointment does not establish PPWR compliance. Our PPWR services are separately scoped and quoted; they are not automatically included in cosmetics compliance work.
Understand what the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation means for your packaging, which deadlines apply and what evidence to prepare. AsCo Europe supports gap assessments, supplier data, technical documentation, labels, EPR coordination and implementation planning.
