At STIPAR, we understand the growing concern about the impact of packaging on the environment and our planet. Therefore, we want to keep you informed about the latest developments in regulations concerning plastics and recycled materials, as well as the opportunities this presents for your business to make a positive impact.
Plastic Packaging and Recycled Materials: What You Need to Know?
In the coming years, stricter standards will be introduced regarding the use of plastic and recycled materials in packaging. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Minimum Recycled Material Content: Starting from January 1, 2030, packaging must contain a minimum percentage of recycled material, depending on the type of packaging. This varies from 10% to 35%, depending on the type of plastic and its application.
2. Future Goals: By 2040, requirements for recycled material content will further increase, with percentages reaching up to 65% for certain types of packaging. This encourages the transition to more sustainable materials.
3. Exceptions: There are some exceptions to this regulation for specific medical and pharmaceutical packaging and compostable packaging.
Opportunities for Your Business
These new regulations offer numerous opportunities for your business:
1. Sustainability Image: By meeting or exceeding these standards, you can position your company as a leader in sustainability.
2. Cost Savings: The use of recycled materials can lead to long-term cost savings and improve the efficiency of your production process.
3. Customer Loyalty: Consumers appreciate companies committed to sustainability, which can result in more loyal customers and new business opportunities.
4. Innovation: Pursuing sustainable packaging solutions can drive innovation in product design and packaging materials.
