Ready for the PPWR: Innovative Films for the Wood and Pellets Industry
From 2030 onwards, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will introduce binding requirements for recyclability and recycled content. Companies in the wood and pellet industry will also be required to implement sustainable and circular 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-compliant film solutions for the wood and pellet industry is also highlighted by a recent article in Holzkurier.
Trade Press Reports on Our PPWR-Oriented Film Solutions
The relevance of sustainable packaging concepts for the wood and pellet industry is gaining increasing recognition across the sector: In a recent article, Holzkurier reported on our PPWR-compliant Verpalin packaging solutions. The focus lies on increasing recycled content, optimizing material usage and implementing regulatory requirements of the PPWR in a practical and economically viable way.

Why Wood and Pellet Manufacturers Must Switch to Sustainable Packaging Now
For manufacturers of wood pellets, firewood and wood briquettes, packaging is often considered a secondary concern. However, the PPWR introduces binding minimum requirements for recycled content, material reduction and circularity.
From 2030 onwards, clear regulatory standards will apply that packaging must meet in order to remain marketable in the long term. Companies that act early save time, costs and resources – and benefit from an experienced partner who manages the entire transition process in a structured and reliable way: Verpa.
