Multitank Sustainable Bulk Packaging

Understanding the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and Multitank's Compliance

The European Union has taken a significant step towards environmental sustainability by adopting the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). This regulation aims to reduce packaging waste, promote recycling, and encourage the use of reusable packaging solutions. For businesses operating within the EU, understanding and complying with PPWR is essential.

Key Objectives of PPWR

The PPWR, set to be enforced starting in 2025, focuses on several critical areas:

  • Reduction of Packaging Waste: The regulation mandates a 15% reduction in packaging waste per Member State by 2040 compared to 2018 levels. 

  • Recyclability Requirements: All packaging must be designed to be recyclable in an economically viable way by 2030

  • Reuse Targets: The regulation introduces binding reuse targets for specific packaging formats, such as transport, grouped, and sales packaging for beverages, to be applied from 2030.

  • Harmonized Labelling: To facilitate proper recycling, the PPWR requires harmonized labelling across the EU, helping consumers correctly sort packaging waste.
