The purpose of this guidebook is to help you navigate the intricacies of the PPWR by giving you an overview of the applicable regulatory framework.

It includes an interactive tool: by answering a few easy questions, you will be able to get a better sense of how the PPWR applies to your business and how you should get prepared for it.

A few words of caution before we start:

• This guidebook aims at helping businesses making sense of the PPWR; while it is intended to be as accurate as possible, it may not anticipate the specific situation of every user or answer every question that users may have. It should therefore not be construed as legal advice or relied upon for compliance purposes. Users should always refer to the text of the PPWR to confirm the nature and extent of the legal obligations applicable to them.
• Any company using this guidebook remains free to decide autonomously how to interpret and respond to the PPWR.
• Please refer to the EU Official Journal to access the text in several languages.
• If you would like to receive detailed results for a specific application in your portfolio, it is recommended to complete the questionnaire in a customised manner.
