PPWR für Automotive-Ladungsträger

Reusable. Circular. Compliance.

The new EU Packaging Regulation (PPWR) changes the requirements for transport packaging and reusable systems.

With FLEXILITY®, FEURER helps automotive companies implement regulatory requirements in a practical way—with robust load carriers, efficient recycling loops, and documentable processes.

PPWR Explained in Simple Terms

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has a clear objective:

Packaging should become more resource-efficient, more recyclable, and more circular in nature.

For companies, this means new requirements for reusable systems, documentation, and packaging design. With a well-thought-out load-carrying strategy, these requirements can not only be met but also often result in economic benefits.

The Most Important PPWR Topics at a Glance

Reusable

Reusable cargo containers and closed-loop systems are becoming increasingly important.

Documentation

Reporting and documentation requirements are increasing.

Traceability

Packages must be clearly identifiable.

Efficiency

More emphasis is placed on empty space and cargo capacity.

Focus on Reusable Products

The PPWR promotes the use of reusable packaging systems.

Companies benefit from existing circular processes between OEMs, Tier 1, and Tier 2 suppliers.

FLEXILITY® load carriers are designed for high turnover rates, reconditioning, and long-term use.

Labeling and Traceability

With the PPWR, the charge carrier is increasingly becoming an information carrier.

Key Requirements:

  • unique identification
  • digital traceability
  • structured data set
  • Support for Reporting Requirements

Efficiently Meet Reporting Requirements

In the future, companies will be required to systematically collect and document packaging data.

That’s why we consider packaging, load carriers, and data logic together from the very beginning.

  • Material Information
  • Packaging quantities
  • Reusable cycles
  • Documentability
