- France may postpone the start of EPR obligations for professional packaging, which was planned for July 1, 2026.
- The current system only covers household packaging; the PPWR was expected to extend it to professional packaging.
- The postponement is being considered because the timeline is seen as too short for affected organisations to prepare, even though some PROs are already approved.
- No new effective date has been officially announced yet.
- Companies placing professional packaging on the French market should keep monitoring updates and review their registration and PRO options.
