PPWR: Preparing for 2025

2025 is shaping up to be a transformative year for the packaging industry in Europe with the implementation of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). This regulation aims to drastically reduce the environmental impact of packaging by establishing stricter requirements for design, recyclability, and recycled content, marking a turning point in our way of working.

PPWR sets ambitious goals, such as increasing recycled content in plastic materials and reducing the use of single-use packaging. Additionally, it requires all packaging to be fully recyclable and gradually phases out those that do not meet these requirements. This poses a significant technical challenge for the industry, which must redesign materials and processes to align with these goals.

At SPG, we have been preparing for this scenario for years. Our commitment to innovation has enabled us to develop advanced materials that not only meet but exceed recyclability standards. Our range of mono-material solutions is designed to facilitate recycling without compromising functionality or quality.

By investing in technology to incorporate recycled materials into our products, we contribute to closing the plastic lifecycle. This, combined with our sustainability expertise, positions us as a key partner for companies seeking to meet PPWR effectively.
