PPWR Is Coming Is Your Packaging Ready?
The 2030 Deadline for 30% PCR Packaging Is Closer Than You Think
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) makes it a legal requirement to include at least 30% recycled content in all plastic packaging sold into the EU. Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) content is just one aspect of the PPWR but it’s an important one, and we share our tips and insights here.
35% PCR PET is the “sweet spot” – a strong, transparent step that supports your sustainability story, prepares you for the PPWR and EPR, and ensures you do not pay the UK Plastic Packaging Tax.
