FIVE™: The OGR paper bringing food packaging into the PPWR era - Packaging Europe

A new OGR (Optically Guided Recycling) paper called FIVE™ is being introduced to help the food packaging industry comply with the upcoming EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). This innovation aims to improve the sorting and recycling of food packaging materials, which is a critical concern for FMCG and pharma companies operating within or exporting to the EU. The PPWR mandates increased recyclability and the use of recycled content, making it imperative for manufacturers to adopt solutions that facilitate these goals. FIVE™ is presented as a tool that can contribute to achieving these new regulatory requirements by enhancing the material stream’s quality for recycling. This development is significant as it signals a proactive move towards adapting packaging solutions to meet stringent environmental legislation.
