The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation — PPWR (Regulation (EU) 2025/40) — is reshaping export packaging supply chains. For apparel, e-commerce, and FMCG brands, plastic bags, mailers, and paper bags are no longer just “containers”; they must meet recyclability, recycled-content, labeling, and documentation expectations.
1) Why buyers ask about PPWR
RFQs increasingly request GRS/recycled content evidence, compostable certifications, FSC paper proofs, and PPWR-related documentation. Preparing these early shortens audit and PO cycles.
2) Common material paths
- GRS recycled PE bags — traceable PCR for garment, zip-lock, and slider bags.
- Compostable bags — PBAT+PLA options for retail and brand green programs.
- Paper & honeycomb cushioning — FSC kraft alternatives to plastic void-fill.
