Dear Member,
With reference to the letter sent to our Chamber by TOBB, the letter forwarded to our Union by the Ministry of Trade states that certain provisions within the scope of the European Union Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) have started to apply as of 12 August 2026.
In order to obtain detailed information on the implementation of the said Regulation, the Guidance Document published by the European Commission (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legalcontent/EN/TXT/?uri=PI_COM%3AC%282026%293702&qid=1780906186144) and the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) document updated in August 2026 (https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-

In addition, taking into account the questions addressed to the Ministry, a Turkish "Frequently Asked Questions" document prepared on the basis of the PPWR provisions and the guidance document and FAQ published by the European Commission
is also provided in the annex.
