Is your packaging PPWR-proof?

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is a groundbreaking EU legislation designed to revolutionise the way we handle packaging. As such, it will have a massive impact on all companies in the European supply chain that use packaging – including yours.

The PPWR in short

• By 2030, all packaging must be recyclable, and by 2035, it must be recycled at a large scale.
• The PPWR mandates the use of reusable packaging, setting specific targets for transport packaging like reusable trays and pallets.
• The PPWR will apply from 12 August 2026 onwards.

This regulation is a significant step towards a more sustainable future, and it’s crucial for organisations to understand its requirements. As the detailed requirements of the PPWR are still being developed until mid-2026, the precise implications for your organisation still have to be fully defined. To make sure you’re well-prepared to meet your responsibilities, we strongly encourage you to proactively monitor the PPWR’s evolution and start evaluating the potential impact on your operations without delay.
