Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation: Our experts at your side
The new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is coming to the European Union, starting in 2025. The PPWR sets mandates for recyclability, minimum usage of post-consumer
recycled (PCR) plastic, and bans certain types of packaging. In addition, there will be
eco-modulated Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees based on recyclability. These
rules and targets apply to all packaged products sold in the EU.
