If you want to ensure security of supply, price stability and compliance, you need to make strategic preparations now. This is because the PPWR packaging regulation is changing the rules of the game: From 2030, binding minimum use quotas for PCR in Packaging will apply – between 10% and 35%, depending on the application. This sounds good, but in practice it puts companies under pressure. Because high-quality PCR – especially for food contact or technical packaging – is already in short supply. Demand is increasing, supply is lagging behind.
White paper shows: Massive supply gap for recycled plastics by 2030 – growing pressure for companies to act
Our latest white paper, which we commissioned from the consulting company BP, illustrates the scale of the challenge:
Even with optimistic market developments, the demand for PCR will significantly exceed the available supply. In the area of food-grade plastics alone, there will be a supply gap of over one million tons by 2030. This applies in particular to polypropylene and multilayer materials, for which recycling is technically challenging and cost-intensive.
For companies, this means that if they want to be compliant, competitive and stable on the market in 2030, they will have to act by 2025 at the latest – with a long-term strategy and concrete investments in recyclable packaging, stable partnerships in the supply chain and secure access to high-quality recyclate. The recyclability of your own packaging solutions will become a decisive competitive factor.
Interzero supports you in this – with sound advice, targeted analysis and in-depth expertise in material flow management.
