PPWR source-specific term for compostable packaging.
Compostable packaging should be read inside the PPWR packaging regime, not as a generic sustainability or product-design label. The page should connect packaging identity, waste status, reuse/refill/recycling design, and material-output evidence where relevant.
Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste
packaging that biodegrades in industrially controlled conditions or that is capable of undergoing biological decomposition in such conditions, including through anaerobic digestion, but not necessarily in a home-composting environment, combined, if necessary, with physical treatment, resulting ultimately in the conversion of the packaging into carbon dioxide or, in the absence of oxygen, methane, and mineral salts, biomass and water, and that does not hinder or jeopardise the separate collection and the composting and anaerobic digestion process
Reference: Article 3, point 50
Implementation records should capture packaging identifiers, packaging format/material, product links, market-placement or making-available event, waste/prevention/reuse/recycling status where relevant, and evidence for collection, sorting, design-for-recycling, or compostability claims.
For Minespider, PPWR terms should route packaging evidence into concrete objects: packaging units, formats, material classes, market events, waste-stage transitions, reuse systems, refill operations, and recycling or composting routes.
