How Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) applies in Malta: the national extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme, small-producer thresholds, eco-modulation, and deposit return system status. PPWR is directly applicable in Malta from August 12, 2026.
GreenPak / WasteServ.
To confirm with GreenPak.
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.
Very small market. GreenPak EPR operational. PPWR direct application Aug 2026.
