EU PPWR 2026: Important Changes to Lazypony Shipping Within the EU

Unfortunately, due to the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which became applicable from 12 August 2026, we have been forced to stop shipping to most EU countries.

📦 Within the EU, we currently SHIP TO:

🇪🇸 Spain
🇫🇷 France
🇩🇪 Germany
🇳🇱 Netherlands

For our customers outside the EU — including the United Kingdom, Switzerland, the USA, Canada and other countries — nothing has changed. We continue shipping as usual. 🌍

We will do our best to find a way to resume shipping to customers in the other EU countries. If we find a workable solution, we will of course let you know.

💔 Why is this happening? Why We Have Had to Stop Shipping to Some EU Countries?

In its current form, the new packaging regulation creates extremely difficult and costly requirements for small and medium-sized businesses selling across the EU. We believe this puts small businesses at a serious disadvantage compared with large companies and limits one of the main benefits of the EU Single Market — the ability to trade freely between member states.

If you disagree with the current rules, we encourage you to read the regulation, share your feedback and support efforts to change it.

We sincerely hope that a workable solution for small businesses will be found and that we will soon be able to ship to all our EU customers again. 💛
