In rund 18 Monaten Zeit tritt sie am 12. August 2026 endg\u00fcltig in Kraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die Verordnung zielt darauf ab, die Menge der produzierten Verpackungen und Verpackungsabf\u00e4lle zu verringern, die Verwendung von Prim\u00e4rrohstoffen zu minimieren und den \u00dcbergang zu einer Kreislaufwirtschaft zu beschleunigen. Diese neuen Vorschriften werden sich direkt auf Schutzverpackung auswirken. Unternehmen m\u00fcssen Verpackung wiederverwenden, sie so umgestalten, dass sie wiederverwertbar ist, oder auf kompostierbare Alternativen umsteigen, um die Vorschriften einzuhalten und finanzielle Strafen zu vermeiden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wiederverwendung: Verl\u00e4ngerung des Lebenszyklus<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Der PPWR definiert Wiederverwendung als den Prozess der mehrfachen Verwendung von Verpackungen f\u00fcr denselben Zweck, f\u00fcr den sie hergestellt wurden. Damit eine Verpackung als wiederverwendbar eingestuft werden kann, muss sie in ein organisiertes, finanziertes und mit Anreizen versehenes \"Wiederverwendungssystem\" gelangen. Der PPWR hat f\u00fcr bestimmte Verpackungsarten Wiederverwendungsziele bis 2030 festgelegt, z. B. f\u00fcr \"Transportverpackungen oder Prim\u00e4rverpackungen f\u00fcr den Versand\", die auf 40% festgesetzt wurden. Infolgedessen m\u00fcssen Unternehmen m\u00f6glicherweise ihre Logistikstr\u00f6me umgestalten und Sammel- und Reinigungsprogramme, sowie finanzielle Anreize, einf\u00fchren.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Packaging-collection-image-2-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279072\" style=\"width:492px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Packaging-collection-image-2-edited.png 2160w, https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Packaging-collection-image-2-edited-1280x853.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Packaging-collection-image-2-edited-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Packaging-collection-image-2-edited-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2160px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recyceln: Den Kreislauf schlie\u00dfen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die PPWR fordert, dass bis 2030 alle Verpackungen wiederverwertbar sein m\u00fcssen. Die Europ\u00e4ische Kommission definiert \"Recyclingf\u00e4higkeit\" als den Prozess der Wiederaufbereitung von Abf\u00e4llen zu neuen Produkten und Materialien, sei es f\u00fcr ihren urspr\u00fcnglichen Zweck oder f\u00fcr eine andere Verwendung. Die PPWR geht jedoch noch weiter, indem sie strenge Kriterien daf\u00fcr aufstellt, was als wiederverwertbare Verpackung gilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Um die Anforderungen zu erf\u00fcllen, m\u00fcssen die Verpackungen zun\u00e4chst so gestaltet werden, dass sie recycelbar sind. Bis 2030 d\u00fcrfen nicht weniger als 70% des Verpackungsmaterials f\u00fcr das Recycling geeignet sein. Als fester Bestandteil des Produktdesigns muss es m\u00f6glich sein, Verpackungsabf\u00e4lle in bestimmte Abfallstr\u00f6me zu sortieren, ohne die Recyclingf\u00e4higkeit anderer Str\u00f6me zu beeintr\u00e4chtigen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eine wichtige Ma\u00dfnahme zur F\u00f6rderung des Recyclings ist die Einf\u00fchrung des 'Extended Producer Responsibility' (EPR), die den Herstellern die Verantwortung f\u00fcr die Abfallbewirtschaftung \u00fcbertr\u00e4gt. Die EPR macht die Hersteller von Verpackungen f\u00fcr die Kosten der Sammlung, Sortierung und Wiederverwertung von Verpackungsabf\u00e4llen verantwortlich. Als Anreiz f\u00fcr den nachhaltigen Design von Verpackungen k\u00f6nnen Unternehmen reduzierte EPR-Geb\u00fchren in Anspruch nehmen. Dar\u00fcber hinaus werden mit der Verordnung Recyclingziele eingef\u00fchrt, die bis 2030 erf\u00fcllt werden m\u00fcssen und bis 2040 noch erh\u00f6ht werden. Kunststoffverpackungen m\u00fcssen je nach Art der Verpackung aus bis zu 35% recyceltem Material hergestellt werden. Kompostierbare Verpackungen sind jedoch von dieser Anforderung ausgenommen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"767\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1657557021279_20120905_ILLUSTRATIONS_140_MOBILE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279071\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1657557021279_20120905_ILLUSTRATIONS_140_MOBILE.jpg 767w, https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1657557021279_20120905_ILLUSTRATIONS_140_MOBILE-480x320.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 767px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Kompost: Eine Rolle f\u00fcr biologisch abbaubare Materialien<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neben der stofflichen Verwertung erkennt die PPWR zwei verschiedene Arten der Kompostierung an. Sie unterscheidet zwischen \"kompostierbarer Verpackung\" - Verpackungen, die unter industriell kontrollierten Bedingungen biologisch abgebaut werden - und \"haushaltskompostierbarer Verpackung\" - Verpackungen, die unter unkontrollierten Bedingungen biologisch abgebaut werden k\u00f6nnen, z. B. im Garten oder in kommunalen Kompostsystemen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">W\u00e4hrend es derzeit keinen universellen Standard f\u00fcr die Hauskompostierung gibt, wird die industrielle Kompostierung nur unter bestimmten Bedingungen als praktikable L\u00f6sung anerkannt. Um die negativen Auswirkungen von Kreuzkontaminationen in Abfallstr\u00f6men zu vermeiden, schreibt die PPWR vor, dass kompostierbare Verpackung den Kompost nicht verunreinigen darf. Die industrielle Kompostierung von biologisch abbaubaren Kunststoffen wird von den einzelnen Mitgliedstaaten beschlossen und ist nur dann zul\u00e4ssig, wenn sie einen eindeutigen Nutzen f\u00fcr die Umwelt oder die menschliche Gesundheit bietet, wie z. B. bei kompostierbaren Kaffee-\/Teebeuteln, bei denen das Produkt nur schwer von der Verpackung zu trennen ist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2160\" height=\"1440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Instagram-1-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279082\" style=\"width:500px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Instagram-1-edited.png 2160w, https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Instagram-1-edited-1280x853.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Instagram-1-edited-980x653.png 980w, https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Instagram-1-edited-480x320.png 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) and (max-width: 1280px) 1280px, (min-width: 1281px) 2160px, 100vw\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wie k\u00f6nnen sich Unternehmen anpassen?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Da die wichtigsten Vorschriften bis 2030 in Kraft treten werden, m\u00fcssen die Unternehmen jetzt mit den Vorbereitungen beginnen, um die Einhaltung der Vorschriften zu gew\u00e4hrleisten und Strafen zu vermeiden. Dies bedeutet, dass die Einhaltung der PPWR neu bewertet werden muss und dass Lieferketten und die Auswahl von Verpackungsmaterialien \u00fcberpr\u00fcft werden m\u00fcssen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Um die neuen Anforderungen zu erf\u00fcllen, m\u00fcssen Unternehmen, die Schutzverpackungen verwenden, m\u00f6glicherweise ihre logistischen Abl\u00e4ufe umgestalten, um die Wiederverwendung zu erleichtern, indem sie beispielsweise Sammel- und R\u00fccknahmesysteme einrichten. Au\u00dferdem m\u00fcssen sie ihr Verpackungsdesign \u00fcberdenken, um die Wiederverwertbarkeit zu verbessern, den Einsatz von Recyclingmaterial zu erh\u00f6hen oder auf nachhaltigere Materialien umzustellen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gl\u00fccklicherweise gibt es immer mehr alternative Schutzverpackungen, wie z. B. kompostierbare <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/de\/pilzverpackung\/\">Myzel Verpackung<\/a>, die es Unternehmen einfacher machen, sich anzupassen. Myzel Verpackung ist nicht nur sicher f\u00fcr die Gesundheit, sondern bietet auch die M\u00f6glichkeit, traditionelle Verpackungsdesigns zu \u00fcberdenken und effizientere und nachhaltigere L\u00f6sungen zu schaffen. Auch wenn diese Ver\u00e4nderungen neue Systeme und Investitionen erfordern, werden sie Unternehmen letztlich helfen, den Vorschriften voraus zu sein, langfristige Kosten zu senken und den steigenden Anforderungen der Verbraucher an die Nachhaltigkeit gerecht zu werden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/de\/industrielle-verpackungen\/\" style=\"background-color:#77946a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Entdecken Sie industrielle Myzel Verpackung<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) was officially adopted by the European Council last December.

The PPWR has set re-use targets for certain types of packaging by 2030, such as 'transport packaging or primary packaging used for shipping', set at 40%.

The European Commission defines \u2018recyclability\u2019 as the process of reprocessing waste into new products and materials, whether for their original purpose or another use. But the PPWR goes further by outlining strict criteria as to what qualifies as recyclable packaging.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>To comply, packaging must first be designed to be recyclable. By 2030, no less than 70% of the packaging material must be suitable for recycling. As an intrinsic part of the design of a product, it must be possible to sort packaging waste into specific waste streams without interfering with the recyclability of other streams.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>A key measure to encourage the recycling is the introduction of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), placing producers in charge of waste management. The EPR makes producers of packaging responsible for the costs of collecting, sorting and recycling packaging waste. To encourage sustainable design, companies can take advantage of reduced EPR fees. Additionally, the regulation introduces recycling targets that must be met by 2030 and will be increased by 2040. Plastic packaging must be made of up to 35% of recycled material, depending on the type of packaging. Compostable packaging, however, is exempt from this requirement.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:group {\"layout\":{\"type\":\"constrained\"}} -->\n<div class=\"wp-block-group\"><!-- wp:image {\"id\":279071,\"width\":\"500px\",\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/1657557021279_20120905_ILLUSTRATIONS_140_MOBILE.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279071\" style=\"width:500px\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image --><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:group -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Compost: A role for biodegradable materials<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Alongside recycling, the PPWR recognizes two different types of composting. It distinguishes between \u2018compostable packaging\u2019 \u2013 packaging that biodegrades under industrially controlled conditions, and \u2018home compostable packaging\u2019 \u2013packaging that can biodegrade in non-controlled conditions, such as in the garden or community compost systems.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>While there is currently no universal standard for home composting, industrial composting is only recognised as a viable solution under certain conditions. To prevent the negative effects of cross-contamination in waste streams, the PPWR mandates that compostable packaging must not contaminate the compost. Industrial composting of biodegradable plastic is to be decided upon by individual member states and will only be allowed when it provides a clear benefit for the environment or human health, such as compostable coffee\/tea bags, where the product is difficult to separate from the packaging.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":279082,\"width\":\"500px\",\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"align\":\"center\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.grown.bio\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Instagram-1-edited.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-279082\" style=\"width:500px\"\/><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can businesses adapt?<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":\"40px\"} -->\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<!-- \/wp:spacer -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>With key regulations coming into effect by 2030, businesses need to start preparing now to ensure compliance and avoid penalties.
