Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)

May 14, 2025

On December 19, 2024, the EU adopted the Packaging and Packaging
Waste Regulation (PPWR), officially known as the final Regulation on Packaging and Packaging Waste (EU 2025/40). This regulation aims to facilitate the transition to a circular and competitive economy for packaging and its associated waste.

This legislation affects the entire value chain, which is why, as a packaging producer, we would like to inform our customers about its implications. We will closely monitor the relevant chapters that apply to us as producers of packaging buckets and to you as a customer. Wherever possible, we will share important developments and requirements with you.

FSSC 22000

The FSSC 22000 Standard has been created through Stichting Certificatie Voedselveiligheid (SCV). As a food-oriented version of the ISO 22000 Standard, this certification programme has been set up as a global guideline in food safety and quality within various industries. This standard is aimed at the entire production chain and as such, it is ideally suited for international harmonisation, partly thanks to the recognition by the GFSI. In addition to its connection with ISO 22000, the FSSC 22000 has many comparisons with the HACCP criteria, making it an attractive variant with the best of both worlds from these programmes. Thanks to the internationally accepted nature of the FSSC and the chain-wide approach within this certification programme, we recognise a strong food safety management system in this standard.
