12 Oct 2023 --- The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is set to trigger “significant changes” in the packaging industry and require producers to revise their product portfolios and sourcing processes to comply, according to a new report from Rabobank. The PPWR, which is still in the proposal stage, aims to reduce packaging waste and support environmental sustainability. The regulation sets targets for recycling, reuse, refill and waste reduction, outlining design criteria for higher packaging recyclability, and mandates the establishment of DRS for beverage containers made of plastic and metal.
