How Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) applies in Romania: the national extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme, small-producer thresholds, eco-modulation, and deposit return system status. PPWR is directly applicable in Romania from August 12, 2026.
ANPM (national EPR) + RetuRO (DRS).
To confirm with national authority.
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.
DRS launched Nov 2023. EPR system developing alongside PPWR requirements.
