EU countries packaging: Product code

(Based on simplified EU template with subcategory1 only)

This format is used to declare packaging placed on the market in EU countries that do not require full-level breakdown (like in France).

EPR code structure:

category + subcategory1 + subcategory2 + subcategory3 + subcategory4 + subcategory5

1. Select reporting region

For all EU countries, use:
EU Countries (this label is not part of the code, just a tag)

2. Choose category

Packaging → P

3. Choose subcategory1 — material type

This defines the primary material of your packaging.

See: subcategory1 section

4. All other subcategories = “None”

• Subcategory2 = 000
• Subcategory3 = 00
• Subcategory4 = 00
• Subcategory5 = 00

These are required to complete the 11-digit structure, even if unused.

Code assembly example

Let’s say:

• Category = Packaging → P
• Material = Plastics → B

Then the code is: PB000000000

If your packaging is made of Paper, the code becomes: PS000000000
