This regulation changes the definition of who is considered a producer. For you, this may mean a new role and new obligations. You can find a comprehensive overview of the entire regulatory framework on <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/tmr.se\/en\/producer-responsibility\/#PPWR\">our PPWR page<\/a>.   <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"mcePastedContent\"><strong>This is changing<br\/><\/strong>Currently, the person who fills a package is normally considered the producer. This applies even if the package bears someone else\u2019s brand name. Starting August 12, however, it will be you\u2014the person who commissions the manufacture of packaging or has your product packaged under your own name or brand\u2014who is considered the producer. Responsibility is thus shifting from the person who fills the packaging to you, the brand owner.   <\/p>\n<p class=\"mcePastedContent\"><strong>Liability cannot be waived by agreement<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">You can agree with another party on who will report and pay the packaging fees. However, the producer responsibility itself always remains with you. You can have someone else handle the task, but they cannot assume the responsibility.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Start by reviewing your packaging workflows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Where do you source your packaging? Where does the packaging take place\u2014in Sweden, within the EU, or outside the EU? Once you\u2019ve mapped out your supply chains, you\u2019ll be able to see what role you\u2019ll play and what\u2019s required of you. Keep in mind that reporting requirements may also change. For some, this means starting to report; for others, it means stopping. We recommend that you begin your review well in advance.     <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">If you run a small business, you <em>may<\/em> be exempt. You are considered a micro-enterprise if you have fewer than ten employees and annual revenue of less than 2 million euros. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>If you\u2019d like to learn more, you can read <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/www.naturvardsverket.se\/vagledning-och-stod\/producentansvar\/eu-forordningen-om-forpackningar-ppwr\/fragor-och-svar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency\u2019s FAQs about PPWR<\/a>.
