Preparing the Grocery Supply Chain for New Standards
With the European Union’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) taking effect on August 12, 2026, global reusable packaging leader IFCO has deployed comprehensive logistics compliance programs.

- High Recycled Content: An average of 39% high-performance recycled polymer, significantly exceeding the PPWR base requirement of 25%.
- Chemical Safety Compliance: Full REACH alignment and a certified PFAS-free chemical design.
- Circular Sustainability: Cradle to Cradle Certified Silver status, ensuring zero-waste recovery and complete recyclability at end-of-life.
