<h2>Who is the Manufacturer?</h2><p>The latest FAQ update from the European Commission has redefined the term 'manufacturer,' bringing unprecedented liability to brand owners and procurement directors. In the 2026 era, if your name is on the brand, the <strong>Regulatory Debt</strong> of the packaging is yours.</p><h3>Navigating Expanded Responsibility</h3><p>According to <a href="https://www.globalelr.com/2026/04/european-packaging-and-packaging-waste-regulation-summary-of-provisions-and-new-guidance/">Global ELR</a>, this expansion means brands can no longer delegate compliance to 3rd-party vendors without a rigorous <strong>Structural Audit</strong>.
