PPWR Compliance Check for e-commerce – check the new EU packaging rules

Check publicly visible signals in your online shop that may be relevant under the PPWR regulation. The free scan reviews online-verifiable e-commerce and packaging signals and separates them from requirements that need additional evidence.

FAQ

Does PPWR apply to online shops?

Yes. PPWR covers packaging within its scope and explicitly defines e-commerce packaging. Your exact duties depend on your economic role and packaging.

Is the PPWR regulation already applicable?

Yes. Regulation (EU) 2025/40 has applied on a phased basis since 12 August 2026. Some obligations and targets start later.

Can a website scan prove full PPWR compliance?

No. Physical labels, material composition, PFAS, packaging weight, EPR registrations and other non-public evidence need additional verification.

What does the free PPWR Check inspect?

It checks publicly visible webshop signals and separates them from requirements that need manual evidence.

EU LAW UPDATE · 06-09-2026

Scanners updated for the latest EU rules

Latest legal review: 6 September 2026. Merqivio revalidated relevant scan criteria against EUR-Lex and official European Commission sources.

PPWR: now applicable

Regulation (EU) 2025/40 applies since 12 August 2026. The PPWR scan therefore treats it as applicable law, checks visible packaging and environmental-claim signals, and keeps physical labels, PFAS, material composition, EPR and future harmonised labels as evidence/manual checks where a URL scan cannot establish compliance.

What this means

Merqivio distinguishes publicly demonstrable website issues, future duties and requirements that need product, supplier or internal business evidence. This avoids both missed risks and false failures. A scan is an automated risk assessment, not legal advice.
