Packaging & Packaging Waste Directive increases pressure on companies

Packaging plays a crucial role in the consumption of new matrials. Increasing packaging combined with low reuse and recycling rates are barriers to achieving a low-carbon circular economy.

In 2023, the European Parliament reached an agreement (general approach) on a proposed regulation the Packaging & Packaging Waste Directive. These new regulations apply to all organizations that produce or use packaging, and are designed to ensure the use of safe, sustainable and recyclable packaging. This will bring the packaging management of organizations in Europe under close scrutiny.

Faes is committed to a circular packaging process and want to make organizations aware of the implications of this regulation by inviting them to complete our maturity measurement.

Know where you stand on the 7 packaging themes

The Industrial Packaging Maturity Model consists of 7 packaging themes divided into 3 layers, as shown in the image below. To achieve an optimal and circular packaging process, organizations will need to make improvements from the outside in.

To get a detailed picture of the current situation regarding packaging management in your company, we ask you to answer a series of statements for each packaging theme. This results in an overview of both strengths and possible areas for improvement.
