Compliance of Packaging with Legislation | Current Guide 2025

Compliance of Packaging with Legal Legislation

Today, packaging is not only the outer covering of a product; it is also an area of environmental, legal and commercial responsibility. For manufacturers and importers, the compliance of packaging with legal regulations is important for both consumer safety and environmental protection. So, what should be considered in packaging legislation as of 2025? Here are the details...

What is Packaging Legislation?

Packaging legislation covers legal regulations that ensure that products are packaged, transported and recycled in a way that does not harm the environment. In Turkey, the Environmental Law, the Regulation on Packaging Waste Control and Turkish Standards Institute (TSE) standards play a decisive role in this regard.

Updated Legislation Articles for 2025

As of 2025, with the new regulations coming into force, the following points must be considered in packaging design and production:

• Mandatory use of recyclable materials
• Accurate information on the product label and packaging
• Reducing plastic use and promoting biodegradable options
• Technical arrangements for reusable packaging
• Producer's obligation to monitor and report packaging waste

How to Ensure Compliance in the Packaging Process?

In order to comply with legal regulations, companies are recommended to follow these steps:

1. Legislation follow-up: Official Gazette and relevant ministry announcements should be followed regularly.
2. Environmentally friendly approach in design: Product packaging should be produced from recyclable and sustainable materials.
3. Compliance with labeling rules: Product information, instructions for use and recycling symbols should be included on the packaging.
4. Supply chain audit: Packaging suppliers must also operate in compliance with legislation.

Consequences of Non-Compliance

If packaging does not comply with legal regulations, administrative fines, product recalls and damage to brand reputation may occur. In addition, for exporting companies, this can also become a barrier to international trade.

Packaging compliance with legal regulations is an important step not only for today's environment and economy, but also for the environment and economy of the future. With the 2025 regulations, it has become inevitable for companies to switch to more conscious, transparent and sustainable packaging systems.
