<h2>The August 12 Hard Stop</h2><p>In a critical clarification from the European Commission, it has been confirmed that there will be <strong>no transition period</strong> for packaging containing PFAS above the PPWR's limits. Even packaging produced prior to August 12, 2026, will be prohibited from the market if it does not meet the new chemical standards.</p><h3>Liquidating Structural Debt</h3><p>According to <a href="https://www.packagingdive.com/news/eu-ppwr-guidance-document/816121/">Packaging Dive</a>, this 'hard stop' means brands must immediately audit their current stock.
