EU PPWR and U.S. State PFAS Bans Force Compliance Overhauls
Active Packaging Market 2025 to 2035: Sustainability-Driven Growth, Innovation and the Reconfiguration of Global Supply Chains →What Changed
The application of the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) combined with state-level PFAS bans in New York and Washington is mandating 100% recyclability and chemical elimination in food-contact packaging. Manufacturers are compelled to transition away from legacy multilayer films toward bio-based or mono-material active packaging solutions. This shift aims to prevent port-of-entry shipment rejections and avoid EPR fee penalties.
