How Businesses Can Close the Recycled Material Gap by 2030

New packaging regulations will soon demand a set percentage of recycled material in both food and non-food products. By 2030, rules like the Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation will come into force. However, businesses face a major hurdle: a shortage of suitable recycled materials, particularly for food-grade use.

The upcoming webinar will tackle the challenges of meeting these recycled content targets. Experts will examine the current shortfall in materials like r-PP and r-PS, which are essential for compliant packaging. Strategies to bridge this gap will be a key focus.

Birte Dorenkamp from Emmi will present a case study on their successful use of recycled polystyrene (r-PS) in cup production. The session will also highlight how partnerships between brands and packaging firms, such as Emmi and Greiner Packaging, can help overcome material shortages.

Attendees will learn about the 2030 requirements for recycled content and practical ways to secure enough high-quality material. The discussion will balance environmental goals with the economic realities of sourcing and production.

The webinar aims to provide clear solutions for businesses struggling with the recycled material gap. Participants will leave with insights into meeting regulatory demands while maintaining product safety and cost efficiency. The event underscores the need for industry collaboration to achieve sustainable packaging goals by 2030.
