Frequently asked questions

Can LPR provide legal advice?

PPWR

No, unfortunately we cannot provide legal advice. LPR can provide general information about PPWR developments and its reusable packaging systems. For legal advice on your specific situation, please consult a qualified legal or regulatory expert.

Where can I find more information on the PPWR and discuss my company’s situation?

PPWR

Please contact your LPR account manager or usual customer contact for PPWR-related questions about LPR reusable pallets and available documentation. You can also reach out to us via the contact form on our website.

Why choose LPR reusable pallets?

PPWR

LPR reusable pallets help customers move away from single-use or white exchange pallets. In addition to supporting PPWR readiness, they help reduce packaging waste, improve operational efficiency and support a more circular supply chain.

Who manages EPR obligations for LPR reusable pallets?

PPWR

Where Euro Pool Group (EPG) serves as the relevant legal manufacturer or producer for LPR reusable packaging assets, EPG manages the relevant asset-related obligations. Beyond this, customers remain responsible for assessing and fulfilling their own regulatory obligations concerning other packaging materials that are used in the supply chain.

What is Extended Producer Responsibility?

PPWR

Extended Producer Responsibility, or EPR, is a system in which companies placing packaging on the market contribute to the costs of collection, sorting, recycling and treatment of packaging waste. While EPR schemes are managed at national level, the PPWR strengthens and harmonises EPR requirements across the EU.

What PPWR-related documentation can LPR provide?

PPWR

LPR provides the relevant compliance documentation for the pallet range it places on the market, including the EU Declaration of Conformity where required under the PPWR. The latest versions of these documents are available through our website.

What is a Declaration of Conformity?

PPWR

A Declaration of Conformity is a compliance document that confirms that a packaging format is assessed against applicable PPWR requirements, including design, chemical safety and recyclability provisions.

Does using LPR pallets make my company automatically PPWR compliant?

PPWR

No, not necessarily. LPR supports customers with reusable transport packaging, packaging data and relevant compliance information regarding our products. Beyond this, customers remain responsible for assessing and fulfilling their own regulatory obligations concerning other packaging materials that are used in the supply chain.
