Guidance on regulatory changes resulting from the PPWR
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket) has published guidance on new national provisions (Swedish regulatory amendments) arising from the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
The amendments to the Swedish Packaging Ordinance are a part of a broader effort to align Swedish legislation with the PPWR.
The changes primarily concern definitions, reporting requirements and notifications relating to reuse systems. They also include a clarification regarding language requirements for the EU Declaration of Conformity.
