Responsible packaging – Preparing for the future
At Kohberg, we are committed to responsible packaging practices and reducing the environmental impact of our packaging.
We are actively working in accordance with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which aims to reduce packaging waste, improve recyclability and establish harmonised packaging requirements across Europe.
The regulation has applied since 12 August 2026, with additional requirements being introduced gradually.
The key focus areas include:
Reducing packaging waste: Minimising unnecessary packaging materials and excess space in packaging.
Designing for recyclability: Developing packaging solutions that support effective recycling and, where relevant, reuse.
Increasing recycled content: Preparing for future requirements concerning the use of recycled materials in plastic packaging.
Limiting harmful substances: Ensuring compliance with restrictions on substances of concern, including PFAS in food-contact packaging.
Improving labelling: Preparing for harmonised EU labelling requirements to support correct waste sorting and recycling.
We continuously develop our packaging solutions to meet evolving European regulations while ensuring product protection, food safety and responsible resource use.
