The European packaging industry is entering a new phase of transformation following the continued implementation of the European Union's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). Designed to reduce packaging waste, improve recyclability, and strengthen the circular economy, the regulation is expected to reshape packaging design, material selection, and manufacturing processes across the plastics industry. As brand owners, packaging converters, and manufacturers prepare for stricter sustainability requirements, demand for recyclable plastic films and advanced blown film production technologies is expected to increase significantly. For companies throughout the flexible packaging supply chain, the PPWR represents not only a regulatory challenge but also an opportunity to accelerate innovation and improve long-term competitiveness.···
