Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)

As sustainability regulations evolve, businesses must adapt to the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). With a focus on reducing waste and increasing recyclability, PPWR presents both challenges and opportunities for companies to enhance their supply chains and meet environmental targets.

What is PPWR?

The European Union Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) aims to reduce packaging pollution and promote a circular economy within the EU.

Did you know that the PPWR applies to all packaging products, including transport packaging such as pallets and boxes? The regulation requires businesses to ensure that 40% of their transport packaging is reusable by 2030 and 70% by 2040.

Choosing partners who offer packaging and logistics solutions that align with these new regulations is essential to achieving these goals.

How does it impact your supply chain?

  • PPWR affects all packaging used by businesses, including packaging for transport and storage.
  • If you're still using one-way pallets or non-reusable load carriers, your supply chain could face challenges in adapting to the new requirements, as these products may not meet PPWR standards.
  • Packaging that doesn’t align with recyclability or reusability requirements will likely be phased out under the new regulation.

The Faber Group Companies Support You to Align with PPWR

Aligning with the goals of PPWR requires smart, sustainable, reusable logistics solutions—and that’s exactly what the Faber Group companies provide. 

Recycle is good – reuse is better. By prioritizing reusability, our solutions enable all Faber Group divisions to foster greater sustainability, reduce waste, and optimize supply chain efficiency over the long term. 

To achieve these goals, IPP and PRS offer closed pooling systems—where load carriers circulate in a controlled network, ensuring full traceability, maximum reusability, and reduced waste. Meanwhile, PAKi and vPOOL provide open pooling services—flexible, interoperable solutions that work across broad networks to support diverse supply chain needs. 

Both open and closed pooling help you: 

  • Cut CO₂ emissions with fewer one-way trips and optimized transport. 
  • Lower costs by only paying for what you use. 
  • Boost efficiency with simplified logistics processes. 
  • Align with regulatory requirements with reusable, standardized transport packaging.
