The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is reshaping the packaging landscape. With strict new mandates targeting recyclability at scale and minimum post-consumer recycled (PCR) content, non-recyclable materials are facing steep fee penalties and looming market bans.
For brands relying on legacy plastics like Polystyrene (PS), navigating these requirements can feel overwhelming. With SIPA, achieving full compliance is not only guaranteed—it is easier than you think.
SIPA’s advanced packaging systems are purpose-built to produce high-performance, fully compliant PET and rPET containers that meet and exceed upcoming European standards. When you partner with us, regulatory hurdles turn into an immediate commercial advantage.
Replacing hard-to-recycle materials with PET instantly resolves compliance bottlenecks while safeguarding your brand’s shelf presence and bottom line.
