EU PPWR PFAS & Total Fluorine Compliance Guide ku kusiba emmere okukwatagana (2026)

Omukago gwa Bulaaya omupya... Enkola y’okupakinga n’okupakinga kasasiro (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) . mu butongole yayingidde mu nkola ku... 12 Omwezi gwomunaana 2026, okudda mu kifo ky’ekiragiro ky’okupakinga ekya 94/62/EC ekivudde ku mulembe n’okussaawo amateeka amakakali, agamu agakwata ku kuyimirizaawo n’obukuumi bw’eddagala ku bipapula byonna ebiteekebwa ku butale bwa EU ne Northern Ireland. Ewagirwa ekiwandiiko ky’akakiiko ka Bulaaya ekilungamya C/2026/3084 nga bwe kiri eyafulumizibwa nga 10 June 2026, etteeka lino lissaawo ekkomo erikakata ku buli- ne polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) ne total fluorine (TF) mu bipapula ebikwatagana n’emmere, ekiraga okulongoosa okukulu mu EU obukuumi bw’emmere n’enfuga y’ebyenfuna ebyekulungirivu.

Okukakasa nti akatale kagoberera mu bujjuvu, amawanga agali mu mukago gwa EU geetaagibwa okumaliriza n’okutegeeza ebiragiro byabwe eby’ebibonerezo by’eggwanga nga... 12 Omwezi gwokubiri 2027. Nga ekulembeddemu okussa mu nkola enkola eno, Girimaani yafulumya etteeka lyayo ery’eggwanga erissa mu nkola erya VerpackDG nga 17 July 2026, nga lireeta envumbo enkakali mu by’obufuzi n’obumenyi bw’amateeka ku kusiba emmere okukwatagana n’emmere etagoberera mateeka. Ekiwandiiko kino kitangaaza mu nkola emitendera emikulu egy’okugoberera amateeka, ebika by’ebintu eby’akabi ennyo, amateeka g’okugezesa, obuvunaanyizibwa bw’amateeka obukwatagana n’ebyetaago by’okussa mu nkola okusala ensalo ku PFAS ne TF wansi w’enkola empya eya PPWR.

1. Obunene bwa PFAS & TF Restrictions ku Kupakinga Emmere Okukwatagana

Ekkomo lya PFAS ne TF likwata ku bintu byonna ebipakiddwa ebikwatagana butereevu n’emmere, oba ebisuubirwa mu ngeri entuufu okukwatagana n’emmere mu supamaketi ez’amaduuka, ebifo eby’okugabula n’embeera endala ez’obusuubuzi. Amateeka gakwata ku bintu byonna ebipakiddwa awatali kufaayo ku kika kya substrate, nga gatunuulidde obulabe obutasalako eri obutonde n’obulamu obuva ku “ddagala eririmu fluorinated “forever chemicals” mu mbeera z’okukwatagana n’emmere buli lunaku.

2. Ekkomo ekitongole erya PPWR PFAS & TF Concentration Limits

Okusinziira ku bulagirizi obutongole obwa EU n’ebiragiro ebikwata ku mateeka, emiwendo egy’okukakasibwa egy’okusiba emmere okukwatagana gitegeezeddwa bulungi bwe giti, nga gyawula PFAS etali ya polimeeri ne fluorine yenna (nga mw’otwalidde ne PFAS eya polimeeri):

• PFAS ssekinnoomu ezitali za polimeeri: ekisinga obunene 25 ppb
• Omugatte gwa PFAS zonna ezitali za polimeeri: ekisinga obunene 250 ppb
• Omugatte gwa Fluorine (TF, nga mw’otwalidde ne PFAS eya polimeeri) .: ekisinga obunene 50 ppm

Ekikulu, akakiiko ka Bulaaya kakakasa mu bibuuzo byako ebitongole ebya August 2026 nti... tewali lukalala lw’ebintu bya PFAS olugatta ku mutendera gwa EU lugenda kufulumizibwa. Naye, amawanga ssekinnoomu agali mu mukago (okugeza, Bufalansa) galina eddembe okufulumya yinvensulo za PFAS ezikugirwa mu ggwanga, ekitondekawo ebyetaago eby’enjawulo eby’okugoberera mu bitundu.

3. Okupakinga emmere ey’akabi ennyo nga mulimu obulabe bw’okufuuka obucaafu bwa PFAS

Ebyafaayo eby’okujjukira amateeka n’emisango gy’okugoberera amateeka bizudde ebintu ebya bulijjo eby’okupakinga eby’akabi ennyo ebitera okubeera n’emiwendo gya PFAS egisukkiridde, ebyetaagisa okukulembeza okwekebejjebwa abakola n’ababitunda ebweru w’eggwanga:

• Ebikopo by’okufumba keeki eby’empapula eby’omulundi gumu (byajjukirwa mu Bubirigi mu 2021 ne Norway mu 2022)
• Ebisero by’okunywa eby’empapula n’empapula z’okufumba bbaatule
• Ensawo z’okupakinga butto wa puloteyina (ezeenyigira mu misango gy’okusenza mu California Proposition 65 mu 2025–2026)
• Ebintu byonna ebipakiddwa bisiigiddwa oba birongooseddwa ne layers ezikola ezitayingiramu mazzi, ezitayingiramu mafuta n’eziziyiza amabala

Ebika by’ebintu byonna waggulu birina okukeberebwa ennyo mu PFAS ne TF nga tebinnateekebwa ku katale ka EU okumalawo obulabe bw’obutagoberera mateeka.

4. Amateeka g’okugezesa okugoberera: Okukkiriza lipoota ya TF/TOF & Okugoberera okukwatagana okukakasibwa

Okusinziira ku kiwandiiko ekilungamya C/2026/3084, akakiiko ka Bulaaya mu kiseera kino kakkiriza Omugatte gwa Fluorine (TF) . oba Omugatte gwa Fluorine ow’obutonde (TOF) . lipoota z’okugezesa ng’obukakafu obutuufu obw’okugoberera PPWR, ekitegeeza nti amakampuni gasobola okumaliriza okukakasa okugoberera okusookerwako nga gayita mu kukebera fluorine yenna awatali kuzuula bintu bya PFAS ssekinnoomu okukakatako. Wadde kiri kityo, okusonyiyibwa kuno tekusukkulumye ku buvunaanyizibwa bulala obwa EU obufuga.

Okupakinga emmere okukwatagana mu kiseera kye kimu kulina okugoberera enkola nnya enkulu eza EU ezifuga, okukola ekiziyiza eky’okugoberera eky’emitendera mingi:

• Ekiragiro kya REACH (EC) No 1907/2006 Ekyongerezeddwako XVII: Ekugira asidi za C9–C14 eza perfluorocarboxylic (PFCAs), asidi za perfluorohexanoic (PFHxA) n’eminnyo gyazo n’ebivaamu
• Ekiragiro kya POPs (EU) 2019/1021 Annex I Ekitundu A: Ewera era n’eziyiza perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), perfluorohexane sulfonate (PFHxS) ne PFCA ez’olujegere oluwanvu eza C9–C21
• Etteeka erifuga ebikozesebwa mu kukwatagana n’emmere mu buveera (EU) No 10/2011: Yeetaaga obuveera bwonna obupakiddwa n’ebizigo okugoberera olukalala lw’ebintu ebirungi ebya EU
• Amateeka g’amawanga agali mu mukago gw’eggwanga: okugeza, ekiragiro kya Denmark eky’okuddukanya emirimu ekya 2020 No. 681 ekifuga ebikozesebwa mu kukwatagana n’emmere ey’empapula ne bbaasa

5. Enkola enkakali ey’okussa mu nkola n’ebibonerezo (Germany as a Benchmark) .

Amawanga agali mu mukago gwa EU gayanguya okukwatagana n’amateeka g’omunda mu ggwanga ne PPWR, nga Girimaani etaddewo enkola y’ebibonerezo esinga okubeera enkakali okutuusa kati wansi wa... Etteeka ly’okupakinga ebintu n’amateeka agafuga envumbo ku ddagala:

Ebibonerezo by’okuddukanya emirimu

Okupakinga kwonna okukwatagana n’emmere okulemererwa ebyetaago bya PFAS ne TF limit bijja kwolekagana nabyo engassi esinga obunene ya Euro 10,000 n’okubowa ebintu ebikakatako.

Ebibonerezo by’emisango

• Okumenya obukwakkulizo bw’amateeka ga REACH ne POPs kusengekebwa ng’emisango egy’obumenyi bw’amateeka wansi w’egya Girimaani ChemEbibonerezoV, ekibonerezo okutuuka ku Okusibwa emyaka 2 oba okusasula engassi; ebibonerezo byongerwako olw’emisango egiteeka obulamu n’obulamu bw’omuntu mu matigga.
• Okukozesa ebintu ebitakkirizibwa mu bintu ebikwatagana n’emmere ebimenya etteeka (EU) No 10/2011 kibonerezebwa okutuuka ku... Okusibwa omwaka 1 oba okusasula engassi, nga waliwo envumbo ezongerwako olw’obulabe obw’amaanyi oba okufuna amagoba mu ngeri emenya amateeka.

6. Okugaziya mu nsi yonna ebyetaago by’okugoberera PFAS/TF

Omutindo gwa EU PPWR PFAS ne TF gufuuse ekintu eky’ensi yonna eky’okukozesa mu kulungamya obukuumi bw’okupakinga, ng’ebitundu ebiwerako bitwala amateeka agakwatagana:

• Northern Ireland (Bungereza) .: Essa mu nkola mu bujjuvu ebisaanyizo by’ekkomo ku PFAS ne TF ebifaanagana nga EU
• Switzerland: Ekiteeso ky’amateeka ag’enkanankana agafuga nga 27 January 2026, agagenda okuteekebwa mu nkola mu butongole nga 31 December 2027

Okukwatagana kuno okw’ensi yonna kitegeeza nti ebitongole ebipakinga ebitunuulidde ebweru w’eggwanga birina okugatta omutindo gw’okugoberera PFAS eri obutale bwa Bulaaya n’obusala ensalo okwewala okugezesa enfunda eziwera n’okusaasaanya ssente z’okugoberera.

7. Ebiteeso ku kugoberera amateeka g’ebitongole

Nga twolekedde amateeka ga PPWR agateekebwa mu nkola mu butongole n’okussa mu nkola ebibonerezo mu ggwanga okujja okwetoloola EU, amakampuni gaweebwa amagezi okukola ebikolwa eby’okugoberera amateeka mu ngeri ey’obwegendereza:

1. Kulembeza okugezesa TF/TOF ku bipapula byonna ebikwatagana n’emmere ebiweebwa akatale ka EU okutuukiriza ebisaanyizo ebikulu eby’okugoberera PPWR
2. Okukola okuzuula okugendereddwamu ebintu bya PFAS ebikugirwa ebikwatibwako amateeka ga REACH ne POPs okwewala okumenya amateeka okukwatagana
3. Kikyuseemu ebizigo ebirimu fluorine eby’akabi ennyo era olongoose dizayini y’okupakinga okumalawo obulabe obuzaaliranwa obw’obucaafu bwa PFAS
4. Olondoole amateeka g’eggwanga agalongooseddwa ag’amawanga agali mu mukago gwa EU (naddala yinvensulo ya Bufalansa eyinza okubaawo mu PFAS) okutegeera okugoberera okw’amaanyi
5. Okusunsula ebiwandiiko eby’ekikugu mu bujjuvu n’okuteeka fayiro Declaration of Conformity (DoC) okusobola okugumira okulondoola akatale n’okukebera kasitooma

Mu bufunzi

PPWR PFAS eya 2026 n’obukwakkulizo bwa fluorine bwonna bikiikirira okunyweza okw’amaanyi mu mateeka ga EU agakwata ku by’okwerinda mu kupakinga emmere. Nga okussa mu nkola mu butongole kuwedde era ng’enkola z’ebibonerezo mu ggwanga zitandikiddwa mu bwangu, ebintu ebitagoberera mateeka bijja kwolekagana n’okussa mu nkola obutagumiikiriza. Ebitongole birina okulekawo enkola z’okugoberera amateeka mu ngeri etali ya bulijjo, okussaawo enkola z’okufuga PFAS mu bulamu obujjuvu ku bintu ebipakiddwa, n’okukwatagana n’amateeka ga EU ag’omutindo ogwa waggulu agakwata ku butonde bw’ensi n’obukuumi okusobola okuyimirizaawo okutuuka ku katale okutebenkevu mu Bulaaya n’ebitundu ebirala ebikwatagana.
