PPWR IN FOCUS: HIGH-PERFORMANCE FILMS FOR THE WOOD AND PELLETS INDUSTRY
From 2030 onwards, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will introduce further binding requirements for recyclability and – depending on the packaging type – recycled content. Companies in the wood and pellets industry will also need to address the new requirements for their packaging solutions. Many businesses are still facing the transition – Verpa already provides PPWR-oriented packaging concepts that make the changeover structured, economically viable and process-safe.
The growing relevance of our PPWR-oriented film solutions for the wood and pellets industry is also highlighted by a recent article in Holzkurier.
Trade Press Reports on Our PPWR-Oriented Film Solutions
The relevance of material-efficient packaging concepts for the wood and pellets industry is gaining increasing recognition across the sector: In a recent article, Holzkurier reported on our PPWR-oriented Verpalin packaging solutions. The focus lies on the use of recycled materials, targeted material optimization and preparation for regulatory requirements under the PPWR.

Why Wood and Pellet Manufacturers Must Switch to PPWR-Oriented Packaging Now
For manufacturers of wood pellets, firewood and wood briquettes, packaging is often considered a secondary concern. However, the PPWR introduces binding requirements for recyclability, packaging minimization and – for certain plastic packaging types – recycled content.
From 2030 onwards, further regulatory requirements will apply, depending on the packaging type and application. Companies that prepare early can save time, costs and resources – and benefit from an experienced partner who manages the entire process in a structured and reliable way: Verpa.
