Load unit securing within the PPWR framework - dvi publishes guidance paper
From 12 August 2026 onwards, the new European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will gradually become binding and applicable in all EU member states. Among the new requirements that must be implemented by 2030 are reuse and minimum recycled content quotas for transport packaging, including strapping bands and flexible pallet wraps made of plastic and paper. Since the new regulations raise many questions and create uncertainties in the packaging industry, particularly regarding load unit securing, we have developed a guidance paper on load unit securing. The paper is available in German and English and summarizes the current regulatory requirements, existing challenges, and potential solutions.
