EU PPWR
France's mandatory sorting logo and accompanying sorting instructions, required on consumer packaging placed on the French market.
The Triman logo signals that an item is subject to sorting rules, and the info-tri panel next to it tells the consumer how to separate and dispose of each component. Both are required on household packaging placed on the French market under the AGEC law.
Requirements are component specific. A pack with a bottle, cap and sleeve may need distinct instructions per element, which is why French artwork is often the most complex in a European range.
Digital delivery is permitted for some product categories, but the default expectation is on-pack. Non-compliance is enforced at retail level, so retailers frequently reject non-conforming artwork before a regulator does.
The PPWR requirement for standardised material and disposal labelling on packaging and on waste receptacles across the EU.
The French term for an accredited producer responsibility organisation, licensed by the state to collect EPR fees for a defined waste stream.
The EU regulation that replaces the packaging directive with directly applicable rules on recyclability, recycled content, reuse and labelling.
