Does a change in print design mean a new PPWR declaration is required?
Not necessarily.
If only the graphic design changes, while the packaging construction, dimensions, raw materials, components, and other characteristics relevant to PPWR compliance remain the same, a change in print design alone does not necessarily require a new declaration.
However, if the inks, varnishes, laminates, foils, plastic elements, or other packaging properties change along with the design, it must be evaluated whether this modification could affect PPWR compliance.
