The EU’s new packaging regulation is here 🌍 The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) marks a major step forward for packaging circularity across Europe. Published into law earlier this year, it will replace outdated rules with a consistent framework for reducing waste, boosting recycling, and increasing the use of reusable and recycled materials. Here’s what you need to know 👇 ▶️ New recycled content and reuse targets for packaging.  ▶️ Clearer, harmonized rules across all EU countries.  ▶️ A push for better collaboration and innovation in waste management. The PPWR sets the stage for big changes, and while challenges lie ahead, this shift is essential for a more sustainable future. 💪 Learn more about what the PPWR means for businesses, policymakers, and consumers 👉 https://lnkd.in/duKbDF_A  

🌍 A game-changer for packaging in Europe is here! The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) marks a significant milestone for packaging circularity in Europe. Published into law earlier this year, it will replace outdated directives with a unified framework aimed at cutting waste, enhancing recycling efforts, and promoting the use of reusable and recycled materials. Key highlights 👇 ▶ New targets for recycled content and reusable packaging. ▶ Clearer, harmonized rules across all EU member states. ▶ Stronger emphasis on collaboration and innovation in waste management. The PPWR sets the stage for big changes. While challenges remain, this regulation is a crucial step toward a more sustainable future.

🚨 How well do you know the coming regulations?  As the landscape of packaging and waste management evolves, today we're diving into the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation). 🌍  Just a few days ago, the European Parliament passed the PPWR corrigendum, an important step for reusable packaging, with only one last step before it becomes law! Your business most probably uses transport packaging; therefore, these new rules will change how you handle waste, recycling, and reuse. ♻️ Why should this matter?  The PPWR is part of the EU Green Deal, aiming to cut packaging waste and promote sustainability. 💡 Key takeaways:  - Mandatory reuse targets  - New waste management and recycling rules  - Focus on sustainable business practices Want to know more about the upcoming regulations?

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is coming!   The final version of the PPWR was approved by the European Parliament. Once the regulation is published in the Official Journal of the EU, it enters into force 20 days later and applies 18 months thereafter.    Now is the time to prepare, as the regulation applies to the entire life cycle of packaging and all packaging waste regardless of the material used and its origins.   The main objective is to foster a circular economy and sustainable packaging by focusing on three main goals: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle, i.e.:   👉 Reduce empty space and packaging waste 👉 Reuse & refill packaging within re-use systems 👉 Raise recycling rates and the use of recycled materials    For more information, stay tuned! #ppwr #sustainablepackaging

#PPWR is just one more reason to adopt right-sized #packaging. While right-sizing has always provided valuable benefits both economically and environmentally, you can now add regulatory compliance to the list. Reducing waste and improving reuse and recyclability is the right thing to do for many reasons. PPWR is just one more reason.

Our team member, Lyn Tally, recently attended Ocean Plastics Leadership Network’s fall expedition. From September 10th-13th, they explored Maine and Quebec’s innovative waste management and recycling systems with a diverse group of industry, government, and environmental leaders. Here’s what they learned: 🔄 Innovative Solutions: Forward-thinking approaches like Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and bottle return schemes are helping create smarter, more efficient waste systems in Maine and Quebec. ♻️ Rethinking Waste: Companies are exploring creative ways to reduce single-use plastics, design reusable containers, and make waste systems more effective. Ensuring food-grade recycled materials and cleaner composting streams remains a challenge. 🌐 Global Insights: Quebec’s comprehensive approach to waste management offers valuable lessons on efficiency, showing a different path compared to current practices elsewhere. Here at A New Earth Project, we're committed to advancing sustainable packaging solutions, and the learnings from this expedition continue to inform how we help brands transition away from single-use plastics. Stay tuned as we continue to share insights and innovations from the expedition to drive progress in waste reduction and recycling. #WasteInnovation #SustainableSolutions #CircularEconomy

🇪🇺The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (#PPWR) was published today, January 22, 2025, in the Official Journal of the European Union. After much anticipation, speculation, and discussion, it’s finally here – the regulation is now official. 1️⃣ Entry into Force The regulation will enter into force 20 days after its publication, on February 11, 2025. 2️⃣ Application The provisions of the PPWR will become binding after a transition period of 18 months from its entry into force, marking August 12, 2026. The PPWR aims to reduce packaging waste, promote recycling, and accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Companies and other stakeholders are now called upon to take the necessary measures to implement the new requirements within the stipulated timeframe.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has been adopted! After extensive discussions and negotiations, the European Parliament has approved the PPWR. This marks a pivotal step toward achieving a sustainable, circular economy within the EU. ♻️ The PPWR introduces clear, binding rules aimed at reducing packaging waste, promoting reuse, and ensuring that recyclable materials are effectively recycled. These regulations will require companies across the EU to rethink their packaging strategies, with a focus on sustainability, innovation, and compliance. 📈 With the PPWR, the EU is setting a new benchmark for reducing waste and preserving valuable resources. It’s not just about compliance - it’s about contributing to a future where circularity becomes the norm. As experts in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and packaging compliance, we are here to guide companies through the transition. From understanding new requirements to developing actionable strategies, we’re ready to support you in aligning with these ambitious goals. Follow us here and don't miss any news about the new PPWR regulations. 💡 #PPWR #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #Recycling #PackagingRegulations
