What does the EU packaging regulation require – and how can intralogistics respond?

The EU has set clear targets: Packaging should be fully reusable or recyclable by 2030.
The new EU packaging regulation presents industry, trade and logistics with specific tasks – including in the area of transport packaging.

What is required?
packaging solutions must:

• be recyclable (mono-material) or reusable,

• avoid unnecessary material,

• rely on ecological raw materials,

• be clearly labeled and documentable.

What does this mean for intralogistics?
Stretch film is increasingly viewed critically, especially when it comes to securing pallets – due to high disposal costs, plastic composites and a lack of reusability.

sanstrap® polyethylene expansion straps offer an alternative here:
✔ recyclable by type
✔ machine-free
✔ depending on the variant: made from recyclate or BioPE
✔ reusable for internal processes

Conclusion:
The Packaging Ordinance is not a risk, but an opportunity for optimization. Those who switch to future-proof solutions at an early stage not only reduce CO₂ – but also costs.
