Guidelines for Obtaining EU PPWR Compliance Reports for Kraft Paper Bags
Kraft paper bags are paper-based packaging, and exports to the EU must meet several core PPWR requirements. The following are the key points and procedures for application:
I. Core Report Types
1. Recyclability Assessment Report: Based on standards such as PPWR Annex II and EN 13430, prove that the paper bags meet the requirements of large-scale recyclable design (at least 70% recycling rate).
2. Declaration of Recycled Material Content: Although the blending ratio is not mandatory for paper-based packaging, it is recommended to disclose the proportion of recycled fibers.
3. Packaging Minimization Declaration: Prove that the bag weight to contents volume ratio meets the limits (empty rate ≤40%).
4. LCA/Carbon Footprint Report (Optional): Quantify the environmental impact throughout the entire life cycle.
5. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Registration: Complete recycling responsibility registration in the country of sale.
II. Application Procedure
| Steps | Content | Timeframe
| ① Qualification Assessment | Confirm product classification (sales/transportation/secondary packaging)
| ② Testing Execution | Submit samples to an EU-accredited laboratory (recyclability, inks, heavy metals)
| ③ Documentation Preparation | Technical documents, Declaration of Conformity (DoC), label design
| ④ Certification Issuance | Assessment report issued by a notified body or third party
| ⑤ EPR Registration | Complete registration on the official platforms of member countries such as Germany/France
III. Key Compliance Points for Kraft Paper Bags
Material Restrictions: Avoid using PFAS (perfluorinated compounds) oleophobic coatings; banned from 2025
Inks and Adhesives: Must meet heavy metal migration requirements (lead, cadmium less than 100ppm)
Biodegradation Claims: If labeled "compostable," EN 13432 certification is required.
Reuse Targets: If used for retail shopping bags, must meet reuse quotas from 2025.
IV. Recommended Application Channels
Third-Party Laboratory: Dezewei Testing CNAS Registration No.: L8083
Notified Body: For packaging involving health or reuse
Localized EPR Service Provider: Authorized representatives of PRO organizations in various countries
Note: PPWR is expected to officially take effect in February 2026. Companies are advised to start compliance preparations 6-12 months in advance to avoid product removal or market bans.
