Ready for the PPWR: Innovative Films for the Wood and Pellets Industry
From 2030 onwards, the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will take effect. It requires all companies to use sustainable and recyclable packaging – including the wood and pellets industry. Many businesses are not yet prepared. Verpa already is. We offer PPWR-oriented packaging solutions that make the transition simple, safe, and economically efficient.
As part of our commitment to the wood and pellets sector, a journalist from Holzkurier magazine visited us to learn more about our company and our innovative packaging solutions.
Why wood and pellet producers must switch to sustainable packaging now
For producers of wood pellets or firewood, packaging is often seen merely as a necessity.
However, the PPWR introduces binding requirements for recycling content, material reduction, and circularity. From 2030, only packaging that meets these standards may be used.
Companies that switch early save time, costs, and effort – and benefit from a reliable partner guiding them through the entire process: Verpa.
