MM Group says EU PPWR raises bar for packaging recyclability by 2030
  • Mayr-Melnhof Karton outlined how the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation will tighten standards for packaging recyclability.
  • PPWR takes effect from Aug. 12, 2026, with a 2030 target for all EU-market packaging to be recyclable economically.
  • The update frames recyclability as dependent on collection, sorting, consumer disposal behavior, and recycling infrastructure, not design claims alone.
  • MM Group positioned the regulation as a strategic reset that will push earlier, more holistic packaging design decisions across performance and circularity.
