HOTEC confirm that all packaging for EU shipments meets phase-one PPWR requirements, with documentation including EU DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY and Packaging Technical Documentation Sheet ready. Sustainability has always been central to Hotec's operations, embedded across raw material sourcing, manufacturing and packaging.
What is PPWR, and when does it take effect?
PPWR is the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2025/40). It replaces the former Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive with unified rules for all 27 EU member states. The first set of requirements - substance restrictions (heavy metals, PFAS food-contact), labelling and Declaration of Conformity - enters into force on August 12, 2026. Additional rules covering recyclability, recycled content, packaging minimisation and reuse will apply in 2028 and 2030.
HOTEC will continue monitoring PPWR updates and preparing for future phases to support our global partners.
