The EU's new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is set to come into force on August 12, 2026, with significant impacts on small online traders. Key changes include extended producer responsibility (EPR) obligations, requiring traders to appoint representatives in each target EU country for registration, quantity reports, and disposal financing. This applies from the first package sent, with costs typically ranging from several hundred to several thousand euros per year. Many small traders are stopping or reducing EU cross-border shipping due to these new obligations. The regulation aims to reduce packaging waste, promote recycling, and minimize hazardous substances.
