Packaging Information & Contact Details

This page provides the legally required information related to the packaging of JOST Group products. The responsible JOST Group company, waste-sorting instructions and applicable packaging obligations may vary depending on the brand and the country in which the product is sold or used.

EU-PPWR JOST CODE

EU-PPWR entry point

Scanned the EU-PPWR code on a JOST delivery note, VDA label or packaging? You are in the right place — this page provides the packaging information for the product you received.

The QR code is provided on JOST delivery notes / bills of lading and VDA transport labels, and optionally as a sticker on the packaging — an interim solution until the harmonised PPWR material-composition label becomes mandatory.

Information provided via this page supports compliance with Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste (PPWR).

The EU-PPWR QR Code on Our Documents and Packaging

Purpose

The label provides a contact route as required under Regulation (EU) 2025/40. For further specific questions, please follow the brand contact information provided below.

Where you find the code

The QR code is applied on the JOST delivery note / bill of lading and on VDA transport labels. The separate EU-PPWR sticker on the packaging shown here is an additional option, not the primary carrier.

Status

Interim solution. From the date the harmonised material-composition sorting label under PPWR Article 12 becomes mandatory, the marking will be replaced or extended accordingly.

Scope

Covers grouped and transport packaging. On the packaging itself the sticker is applied only where the surface allows.
