🚀 𝗣𝗣𝗪𝗥 & 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴? 📦 The new Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) brings major changes to shipping packaging. From 2030, companies must prepare for strict reuse requirements, efficiency improvements, and limitations on empty space. What does this mean in practice? 🔹 𝙍𝙚𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 ✔️ 40% of shipping packaging must be reusable by 2030, increasing to 70% by 2040 for shipments between market participants and outside the home country ✔️ Internal transport between own locations within the EU: full reusability required from 2030 ✔️ Deliveries within a single member state: reusability required from 2030 for shipments to other market participants ✔️ Applies to pallets, crates, barrels, flexible formats, and more 🔹 𝙇𝙞𝙢𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙀𝙢𝙥𝙩𝙮 𝙎𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚 🚫 A maximum of 50% empty space is allowed in grouped and shipping packaging 📦 Fillers such as air cushions and foam count as empty space 🔹 𝙀𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨? ✅ Hazardous goods ✅ Large machinery and custom packaging ✅ Specific food and animal feed packaging ✅ Cardboard boxes (not subject to reusability requirements but still covered by other PPWR regulations) A key discussion point is the impact on flexible formats, such as stretch film and straps. While these fall under the reusability requirements, 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗼š Š𝗲𝗳č𝗼𝘃𝗶č 𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 that full reuse obligations for pallet wrapping and straps could cause supply chain disruptions, higher economic costs, and negative environmental impacts. As a result, the European Commission is working on a possible exemption, with a study expected in the first half of 2025 and potential legal exemptions finalized in the second half of the year. At Optimum Group™, we closely monitor these developments and will keep our partners informed about any updates. Want to future-proof your packaging strategy?
