🇨🇾 Cyprus: PPWR Packaging EPR and Deposit Return

How Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) applies in Cyprus: the national extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme, small-producer thresholds, eco-modulation, and deposit return system status. PPWR is directly applicable in Cyprus from August 12, 2026.

Eco-modulation

No published national eco-modulation schedule. EPR registration and fees themselves apply from Aug 12, 2026, but harmonized grade-based modulation does not: the Art. 6(8) duty binds around mid-2031, 18 months after both the Art. 6(4) delegated acts (due Jan 1, 2028) and the Art. 6(5) implementing acts (due Jan 1, 2030) enter into force.
