Read more about PPWRA complete packaging concept
A cup, seal and snap-on lid do not have to come from the same factory. We combine the capabilities of different manufacturers and coordinate the components. You keep one point of contact.
A network of specialist manufacturers
We work with more than 22 European factories, including in Germany, Italy and France. Each has its own machinery and specialism. We look for a manufacturer that suits your design, volumes and schedule.
Independent, practical advice
We compare the options from different factories. We discuss the trade-offs between quality, costs and sustainability, as well as what is technically feasible on your packaging line.
Material choices and legislation
PPWR and your packaging
The PPWR is the European regulation on packaging and packaging waste. It has applied since 12 August 2026. Different requirements are being introduced in stages.
PPWR information from the European CommissionAre you updating existing packaging or packing a new product? We discuss the requirements of your application with the manufacturer and compare material options. This brings legislation into the decision alongside protection, processing and costs.
What does the PPWR mean for my packaging?
The regulation includes requirements for recyclability, material use and packaging design. The requirements and deadlines depend on the packaging and its application.
