EU27 packaging registration matrix — current route, not future hype.
A source-linked view of the current national packaging registration/onboarding route we use inside PPWR Revenue Rescue. It deliberately separates today’s national mechanisms from the future Article 44 producer-register rollout.
Checked 2026-09-18. This is a current-route matrix, not a substitute for merchant-specific legal analysis. Conditional/verify states remain conditional/verify.

BUSINESS DECISION
A registration route does not tell you whether the market is worth keeping.
Use sales, margin, packaging kg and verified current costs before turning a regulatory route into a KEEP / FIX / CLOSE decision.
