My EU customer is asking me to provide an environmental declaration for packaging. What regulation is this? What documents do I need to prepare?

This is the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which became formally applicable on August 12, 2024. In principle, all packaging materials entering the EU market (including cardboard boxes, packing tape, printing inks, etc.) must be accompanied by a Declaration of Conformity and corresponding technical documentation. Patisco offers a free tool that generates a printable English Declaration of Conformity based on your company information, packaging specifications, and material details. It also provides a Chinese checklist to help you identify any missing documentation you still need to gather.
