On September 17, 2025, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) initiated a Call for Evidence to support the study report under the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). This call aims to collect information from stakeholders regarding packaging, the substances used, waste management, and recycling technologies to identify substances of concern (SoCs). Information needed includes packaging materials and their use, tonnages, substances used in packaging, its manufacturing and downstream processing / recycling as well as waste management and the recycling technologies used. ECHA will use the data gathered to facilitate an assessment of which substances constitute SoCs based on the criteria set out in the PPWR. Following the conclusion of this call for evidence, ECHA will use additional stakeholder engagement methods to identify SoCs in packaging and gather further information to help inform whether further regulatory action under PPWR is warranted. The deadline for providing input is October 28, 2025. We recall that the publication of the first version of the SoCs list is expected by December 31, 2026.
