The EU’s new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) aims to reduce unnecessary packaging, minimize waste, and encourage more sustainable solutions across the transport and supply chain sectors.
The key obligations become mandatory from 12 August 2026, with no grace period, across all EU Member States.
At the same time, from 1 January 2030, a clear limit will apply:
Empty space in grouped, transport and e-commerce packaging may not exceed 50% of the total volume.
For e-commerce and logistics operators, this means that accurate product measurement and packaging optimization are becoming essential.
No more oversized boxes filled with air.
Compliance depends on the correct dimensioning of every shipment.
