In February, the EU adopted Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste (“PPWR”). Its goal is to reduce packaging waste and create a harmonised market for packaging across the EU. The regulation takes effect on 12 August 2026, with some provisions introduced later. Companies that manufacture, distribute, or import packaging must ensure compliance – or risk sanctions.

PPWR introduces requirements across the entire packaging life cycle, including:

• Environmental sustainability – reducing unnecessary packaging and promoting reuse.
• Labelling standards – clearer information for consumers.
• Restricted chemicals – bans on certain substances in packaging materials.
• Return systems – mandatory return systems for reusable and single-use packaging.

Distributors and importers must also ensure compliance. Each EU country will introduce a producer register and extend companies’ obligations, including new reporting, registration, and financial commitments. Rules for sanctions will also be established.

Since the GDPR came into force in 2018, the demand for legal technical solutions to streamline the management of personal data has increased. Pinteg and Moll Wendén Advokatbyrå have started a collaboration with the ambition to raise the standard of data protection work in Sweden.

Pinteg and Moll Wendén Advokatbyrå have initiated a collaboration with the aim of facilitating organisations in their handling of personal data. Through their work within the field, both parties have realised that a substantial amount of organisations perceive data protection as complex, and therefore avoid it. Moll Wendén’s legal expertise, combined with Pinteg’s software skills, forms a strong foundation for a comprehensive offering. The solution offered is a combination of an easy-to-use tool with advisory services, specifically aimed at organisations that are challenged by dealing with GDPR issues themselves.

The partnership entails a combination of Pinteg’s and Moll Wendén’s extensive expertise and resources to offer innovative and comprehensive data protection solutions. The purpose is to meet the increasing need from companies, organisations and individuals to handle personal data in a respectful and accurate way.

The cooperation aims to create the following effects:

• Innovative and technical solutions: creating platforms, simplifying content and advising on data protection by combining their competences.
• Increased quality and efficiency: by combining Moll Wendén’s legal expertise and Pinteg’s software skills, offering clients higher quality and efficiency in data protection solutions.
• Customised solution packages: include tailor-made data protection solutions that meet the specific needs of different industries and customers.
• Knowledge sharing and awareness raising: to educate and share data protection and work process expertise with customers and the market.
• Continuous innovation: focusing on developing new data protection solutions to meet the challenges of the future.

– Pinteg and Moll Wendén share the same vision of ensuring the highest level of data protection and privacy in an easier way. This collaboration is an expression of our common commitment to help organisations meet the increased demands from authorities and individuals, says Patrik Persson at Pinteg.

– Most organisations put in a lot of work when the GDPR came into force in 2018, which created a foundation and good conditions for further progress, says Simon Wilkens, associate at Moll Wendén Advokatbyrå. It is my belief that organisations now are beginning to realise that they need to work with data management and processes on an ongoing basis. Just like many other things in an organisation, personal data management also changes over time. Something that can therefore be challenging – especially given that more and more is being digitised and digitalised – is to get an overview of the entire organisation’s data management. Fairity can provide support in developing a structure and clearity concerning the process of ensuring that personal data management is compliant.

The collaboration between Pinteg and Moll Wendén is intended to offer customers a simpler and higher level of assistance in their ongoing data protection work. This is particularly important as industry compliance scrutiny increases for all organisations handling personal data: from non-profit sports clubs and housing associations to large corporations and public sector entities.

Pinteg is a Swedish Legal-Tech company that was founded in Ideon Science Park in Lund, January 2020.

The jazz association declared its wholly owned limited company Jazzklubben Nefertiti AB bankrupt in the spring of 2020. The company’s operations, including associated rental premises and intellectual property rights, were acquired in a closed auction by the buyer Nef Swe AB (Nef), with the aim of saving the legendary club scene that Nefertiti represents in Gothenburg.

In the business acquired by the receiver there were two trademark applications, to which the jazz association claimed to have a better right. The association did not want the buyers to be allowed to use the Nefertiti brand at all for the operations at Hvitfeldtsplatsen 6 in Gothenburg. The jazz association therefore objected to registration with PRV and subsequently sued Nef in court.

The Patent and Market Court has now decided the matter as the first instance, on 20 June 2022. The Jazz Association’s action is dismissed because no better right to the trademark applications (Nefertiti) has been shown in the case. The court states, among other things, that the activities of the association and the subsidiary were conducted together and that the trademark was largely used as a location determinant for the club at Hvitfeldtsplatsen 6 in Gothenburg, which has been run by the subsidiary since 1982. If the judgment gains legal force, the processing of trademark applications at PRV will resume.

Moll Wendén, through David Klose and Simon Wilkens, represented the buyer Nef in the case. More information about the activities at Nefertiti at Hvitfeldtsplatsen 6 can be found on nefertiti.se.
