4. Packaging we use
The table below describes the packaging components we currently use. Individual orders may not contain every component listed.
| Component | Material | Recycled content | How to dispose of it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Outer shipping box | Corrugated cardboard (PAP 20) | [X]% | Flatten and place in paper/cardboard recycling. Remove tape first if your local scheme requires it. |
| Void fill | [e.g. Kraft paper (PAP 22)] | [X]% | Paper recycling. |
| Packing tape | [e.g. Paper tape with water-based adhesive / PP tape (PP 05)] | [X]% | [Paper recycling / general waste — check locally.] |

| Label | [e.g. Paper facestock, adhesive backing] | [X]% | Leave attached to the box and recycle with the cardboard. |
Sorting rules differ between countries and between municipalities. Where our guidance conflicts with your local collection scheme, follow your local scheme.
5. Packaging design and minimisation
We design our packaging to use the minimum weight and volume necessary to protect the product in transit, consistent with Article 10 of the PPWR. [DESCRIBE ANY SPECIFICS: right-sized cartons, elimination of secondary boxing, switch from plastic to paper void fill, ship-in-own-container programme, etc. Delete this section if you have nothing concrete to say.]
6. Substances of concern
We require our packaging suppliers to minimise substances of concern in packaging materials and components, and to meet the restrictions on lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that apply under the PPWR. [ADJUST TO MATCH WHAT YOUR SUPPLIERS HAVE ACTUALLY CONFIRMED IN WRITING.]
7. Reusable packaging and take-back
[IF APPLICABLE: describe the reuse or return system, where customers drop packaging off, how returns are funded, and what happens to returned packaging. IF NOT APPLICABLE, replace with the single line below and delete the rest.]
We do not currently operate a reusable packaging or take-back system.
8. Deposit and return systems
[IF APPLICABLE: name the countries and the containers covered, and explain that the deposit is charged at checkout and refunded on return. IF NOT APPLICABLE, delete this section entirely.]
9. Declarations of conformity
An EU declaration of conformity and supporting technical documentation is held for each type of packaging we place on the EU market. Copies are available to market surveillance authorities on request, and to business customers who need them, at [COMPLIANCE EMAIL].
10. United Kingdom
[IF YOU SELL INTO THE UK: the PPWR does not apply there. Set out your UK Extended Producer Responsibility position separately — whether you meet the turnover and tonnage thresholds, your registration status, and your producer registration number if you have one. If you do not sell into the UK, delete this section.]
11. Questions
Email [EMAIL] with any questions about our packaging, our registrations, or the information on this page. We aim to reply within [N] working days.
This page is reviewed at least annually and whenever our packaging specification or registrations change.
