EU Regulation 2024/3005 (PPWR)
All food packaging
EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces a 3-tier limit system for PFAS in food-contact packaging: Tier 1 — 25 ppb individual PFAS, Tier 2 — 250 ppb sum of listed PFAS, Tier 3 — 50 ppm total organic fluorine (TOF).
Penalties determined by individual EU member states. Must be 'effective, proportionate, and dissuasive' per PPWR Art. 68. Expect significant fines in major markets (DE, FR, NL).
Exemptions
European Union's PFAS ban primarily targets manufacturer and distributor in the supply chain. While food service operators are not directly liable, you should request PFAS-free documentation from your packaging suppliers to avoid supply chain disruptions.
