Packaging Materials Supporting EU PPWR Assessment
We select packaging materials and supply-chain inputs with EU packaging requirements in mind, including recyclability, material efficiency, substance restrictions and supporting technical documentation. Final compliance depends on the complete packaging structure, intended use and applicable regulatory requirements.
Base Paper & Paperboard
- FSC® chain-of-custody certified fibre, where applicable
- Fibre-based structures selected with recyclability in mind
- Material composition and coating compatibility considered during specification
- Food-contact declarations and supporting test data available where applicable
Printing Inks
- Water-based or other application-appropriate ink systems
- Low-migration options available for relevant food-contact applications
- Ink selection considers applicable substance restrictions and end-use requirements
- Supporting technical information available from qualified ink suppliers
Adhesives & Glues
- Water-based dispersion and hot-melt adhesive options
- Selected according to packaging structure and intended application
- Food-contact documentation available where relevant
- Adhesive selection considers potential effects on relevant recycling processes
Tapes & Sealing Solutions
- PVC-free tape options available
- Paper-based tape alternatives where suitable
- Adhesive systems selected according to packaging application
- Tape construction considered as part of the overall packaging design
- Material and technical information available upon request
Corrugated Outer Boxes
- Recycled fibre content available according to board specification
- Material-efficient board grades and flute profiles
- Specified for transport protection and stacking performance
- Void-fill and empty-space reduction considered during packaging optimisation
- Recyclability assessed according to the complete packaging construction
Sourced From Qualified Suppliers
We select our material suppliers through a documented approval process covering relevant quality, food-safety and regulatory requirements, depending on the material and intended application.
Relevant technical documents, such as supplier declarations, specifications, safety data sheets and test reports, are collected where applicable. Batch and supplier records support traceability and customer compliance reviews.
What PPWR Means for Our Materials
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) introduces requirements covering packaging design, recyclability, material efficiency, substance restrictions and, where applicable, recycled content and reuse.
By considering these factors during material sourcing and packaging development, we aim to provide material options and supporting documentation that help customers evaluate their packaging against applicable EU requirements. Final compliance depends on the complete packaging design, composition, intended use and relevant assessment criteria.
