of 1994, more than thirty years ago.\u2028Since then, the directive has been updated several times, but the most significant progress has taken place over the past five years, leading to the development of the new <strong>PPWR<\/strong> (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation).<\/p><p>Today, packaging design must take into account a broad range of sustainability factors:<\/p><ul><li>Reduction of raw materials<\/li><li>Design for recyclability, ensuring packaging supports an efficient recycling process<\/li><li>Use of PCR (post-consumer recycled) materials<\/li><li>Reduction of CO\u2082 footprint<\/li><li>Consideration of bio-based materials, with awareness of their pros and cons<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>All these aspects must be balanced to ensure that the packaging remains effective, safe, and protective throughout its life cycle, while still meeting consumer expectations and brand requirements.<\/p><p>In the journey toward a more sustainable future, several key players share responsibility and have their input:<\/p><ul><li>EU Regulators<\/li><li>Manufacturers, including packaging producers and recycling companies<\/li><li>Knowledge developers: laboratories, consultants, and advisors<\/li><li>Brands and Retailers, including private labels<br \/>Contract manufacturers and fillers<\/li><\/ul><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The challenge of identifying and choosing the \u201cright\u201d path toward sustainability is both complex and ongoing.<\/p><p>At <strong>Packright<\/strong>, we have been following these developments for more than<br \/>22 years, leading presentations and discussions with brands, retailers, and contract manufacturers.\u2028We welcome our customers and
