PPWR service for cosmetic companies.
Do you know if any of your packaging is no longer compliant?
The new European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is changing how companies design, document, and demonstrate compliance of their packaging across the European Union. Cosmetic brands must demonstrate compliance with new regulatory obligations and adapt their packaging strategies to ensure continuous access to the European market.
The PPWR is already a reality. Preparing for the new requirements is key to demonstrating regulatory compliance, maintaining market access, and strengthening the trust of clients and partners.
At Cosmeservice, we help you do it quickly, clearly, and without errors. We offer a dedicated service to help you understand your obligations, plan the necessary actions, and stay informed about regulatory developments.

The PPWR represents one of the most significant regulatory changes for packaging in recent years. It introduces new requirements affecting packaging design, recyclability, labeling, and documentation.
Key impacts across your packaging portfolio:
- Recyclability assessment
- Changes in labeling and information
- Restrictions on materials and substances
- Increased documentation requirements
- Mandatory control and traceability
- Declaration of Conformity
The challenge: The entire process requires time, technical expertise, and coordinated management of information and suppliers.
