EU Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)
Why PPWR matters to your business
The EU's new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) Nº 2025/40 aims to significantly advance packaging sustainability across Europe. It goes beyond voluntary commitments - companies must integrate PPWR measures, review packaging strategies, and drive long-term change.
Non-compliance may lead to penalties, restrictions and brand reputation risks. Early movers will gain competitive edge and strengthen their ESG positioning.

PPWR timeline - what's next?
Key PPWR requirements
✓ Broad scope - applies to all packaging on the EU market regardless of material and type
✓ Sustainability requirements - recyclability, reuse, recycled content, minimisation of substances of concern and quantity of materials used
✓ Recyclability grades A, B & C - performance classification with direct impact on EPR fees
✓ Reuse quotas - ambitious targets for different packaging types including transport packaging
✓ Harmonized labelling & EPR - uniform schemes across Member States for waste sorting and producer responsibility
Impact on transport packaging
Transport packaging is a key focus of PPWR. Companies placing transport packaging on the EU market must meet specific reuse, recycled content, recyclability and labelling requirements by 2030.
This directly impacts pallet and load carrier strategies - and is where Cabka's solutions deliver PPWR-aligned answers.
