The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) bill aims to reduce packaging waste within the European Union. In a context where the climate emergency and environmental protection are priorities, this law could revolutionize our relationship with packaging, particularly in the cosmetics industry. What does this regulation actually propose? This article sheds light on the upcoming changes and explains how our products fit into this approach.
What is the PPWR Act?
The PPWR Act is a European Union proposal to regulate packaging use and limit waste. The main objectives are:
- Reduce the use of unnecessary packaging,
- Promote reusable and recyclable materials,
- Harmonise waste management practices across the EU.
The objectives of the law: towards a circular economy
The PPWR Act encourages companies to reuse and recycle their materials. The idea is to encourage manufacturers to opt for sustainable raw materials and ensure their products are compatible with existing recycling chains. In other words, it's an incentive to limit single-use packaging and integrate circular economy principles into product design.
Impact on cosmetics and bathroom products
The cosmetics industry is particularly affected by this law. Packaging, often made of plastic, represents a significant portion of the waste produced by this sector. With PPWR, companies will have to offer more sustainable solutions: reusable packaging, biodegradable materials, or even packaging-free products. Our soap boxes and solid cosmetic holders already meet this sustainability requirement.
Benefits for the consumer
For consumers, this law brings greater transparency and responsible choices. Buying products without packaging or made with recycled materials becomes a way to reduce one's own ecological footprint while supporting responsible companies.
