PPWR Article 3(12)
The seven economic-operator roles.
Manufacturer
Carries the conformity assessment, technical-documentation and EU Declaration of Conformity duties. A name or trademark may determine who holds this role.
Supplier
Supplies packaging or packaged products and provides the manufacturer with the information and documentation needed to demonstrate conformity.
Importer
Checks the manufacturer, declaration, technical documentation and traceability before placing packaging on the Union market.
Distributor
Performs due-care checks, retains traceability and stops supply where conformity is in doubt.
Authorised representative
Performs manufacturer tasks specified in a written mandate; the manufacturer retains its underlying responsibility.
Final distributor
Makes packaged products available to end users and has specific duties at the final point of distribution.
Fulfilment service provider
Ensures that warehousing, handling, packing, addressing and dispatching do not jeopardise conformity.

Clear answers before the work starts.
It should connect each applicable requirement to the packaging type, supporting supplier evidence, the responsible economic operator and an approved declaration.
The decisive factor is placing packaging or packaged goods on the EU market, not the company's home country. The exact obligations depend on whether the company acts as a manufacturer, importer or distributor.
Before work begins, the relevant markets, packaging types, required inputs, deliverables, review points, price and exclusions are recorded.
Update triggers include material or design changes, new supplier evidence, a revised packaging specification and changes in applicable EU requirements.
Food-contact, pharmaceutical, chemical, retail and industrial packaging combine PPWR duties with different safety, performance and supply-chain constraints.
A short scoping discussion defines the number of packaging types and the required output. You then receive a fixed-price proposal for the agreed scope.
