Ready for the future:
Packaging Solutions in Line with the PPWR.
We guide you safely through the new requirements of the EU Packaging Regulation.
What is the PPWR?
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is an EU regulation that from 2030 sets new standards for packaging:
- Increasing recycling rates: The regulation mandates minimum recycled content to promote the use of recycled materials.
- Promoting reuse: Packaging must be more suitable for reusable systems to reduce single-use waste.
- EU-wide uniform rules: National packaging requirements are harmonized to avoid competitive imbalances and strengthen the circular economy.
- Sustainability at the core: Clear guidelines for design, use, and disposal to minimize environmental impact.
Key Requirements at a Glance
| Area | Requirement | Effective from |
|---|---|---|
| Recyclability | Packaging must be fully recyclable | From 2030 |
| Recycled content | Minimum recycled content in plastic packaging | 35% from 2030 |
| Reusability | Mandatory for certain transport packaging | Depending on sector |
| Labeling requirement | Uniform logos for recyclability, material type, etc. | Expected from 2026 |
| Reporting requirement | Transparency over material use & recycling routes | Continuously |

Your products made with green energy
Through our group of companies, we have access to over 8 MW of self-generated solar energy in production.
Through modern battery storage, we maximize the use of the generated energy.
What we do not generate ourselves is covered by our green electricity contracts. In this way, we ensure that our energy sources are 100% renewable.

Leading the way in the mobility transition!
Going electric for you! At our locations, we charge our e-fleet at 23 AC charging points and two DC charging points with solar power generated in-house.
Ditch the car and cycle to work? We encourage our employees to buy an e-bike/pedelec.
Climate-friendly deliveries with our fully electric truck.
Economical and sensible on long distances too!
With our latest generation Volvo trucks, we save up to an additional 10% on fuel thanks to I-Save technology.
No more pointless empty journeys!
We have a forwarding licence to actively avoid empty runs.
Operating equipment
The lighting systems in our buildings have been completely converted to LED lamps, which are also powered by our own solar energy. We always pay attention to energy efficiency when purchasing electrical appliances.
We also rely on forward-looking solutions for heating. Our new heat pumps enable us to utilise our renewable energies efficiently.
We use radiant ceiling heaters in our production facilities. These not only ensure pleasant working temperatures, but are also energy-efficient.
Coworkers
Employees make up the identity of a company. At Safe Pack, we live a family environment at eye level. Our employees are the driving force behind our ability to remain competitive and innovative as a company.

Sometimes less is more!
Recycling
For us, plastic is a recyclable material that should also be used to create value in its second application. Thanks to state-of-the-art recycling facilities, we can give plastic a second life.
In our modern recycling centre, we develop high-performance films with up to 50% recycled content!
The circular economy with ReLease
In the ReLease cycle, the film is collected by type and recycled into new film. We are already producing our film with up to 50% recycled plastic: and with the same quality as film made from new 'virgin' PE.
ReLease, the complete all-round carefree package.
For us, our own recycled films are raw materials. That's why we remunerate every kilo that we recover. This covers all costs arising from any separate handling. But that's not all: with this concept, we offer potential cost savings right from the start. This has already been proven by three years of successful practice.
Additional equipment such as baling presses or wrapping machines are made available to the customer. The used film is compressed in the baler at the recipient's premises, bundled with an automatic wrapping machine and stored on site. After consultation, Safe Pack collects the film to produce new film from it. This creates a closed cycle.
The environment is sustainably protected from film waste and finite resources are considerably conserved.
