Meeting future PPWR requirements is about more than choosing the right material. The real challenge starts much earlier — at the packaging design stage.
Poor design decisions can make packaging difficult to recycle, even if the materials themselves are technically recyclable.
❌ lower recyclability performance
❌ higher regulatory risk
❌ missed opportunities to improve circularity • •
❌ packaging that may struggle to meet future market expectations
✔ mono-material solutions whenever possible
✔ components designed for easy separation
✔ material combinations compatible with existing recycling streams
✔ lightweight construction without compromising functionality

Every design decision influences what happens to the packaging after use.The easier it is to recycle, the greater the chance it can become packaging again.
Your benefit:
By implementing Design for Recycling principles today, you:prepare your packaging for future PPWR requirements improve recyclability performance support a circular economy create packaging designed for long-term sustainability.
From good design to better recyclingSustainable packaging isn't created at the recycling plant.It starts at the drawing board.
Easy-to-Recycle Design is more than compliance.
