We look at how the PPWR proposal aims for greater circularity in packaging. How permanent materials are joining forces to rise above the noise of non-circular materials. And we share our latest campaign focusing on the infinite nature of steel recycling and closing the material loop.
Enjoy the read.

Inside Brussels – Alexis Van Maercke on steel for packaging in EU policy discussions
It’s comprehensive, complex and proving to be rather controversial. Brussels has been buzzing with packaging discussions since the European Commission first released its Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) proposal last November.
Permanent materials, such as steel, are circular by nature and can be easily recycled over and over again without any change to material properties. A new alliance aims to spotlight cross-sector cooperation to highlight their value.

APEAL @APEAL_EU - May 8 Alexis Van Maercke "recyclability grades are a revolution in packaging legislation and a way to foster innovation in packaging" #interpack2023#steelpackaging
APEAL @APEAL_EU - Mar 22 Closing our breakfast briefing #PPWR, #AlexisVanMaercke calls for - Minimum recyclability criteria for ALL packaging - clear rules in primary legislation for a level playing field for all materials and a more sustainable future in packaging @Parlimag#lesswastemorevalue
