Recycled Content in plastic packaging
Minimum PCR Content for plastic packaging
By 2030, plastic packaging placed on the market must contain a minimum percentage of recycled content recovered from post-consumer plastic waste (PCR):
contact sensitive packaging made from PET (50% from 2040)
contact sensitive packaging made from plastic materials other than PET (25% from 2040)
single use plastic beverage bottles (65% from 2040)
plastic packaging made from other material (65% from 2040)
There are exemptions, for example for medicines, compostable packaging, dangerous goods, infant foods and any plastic part representing less than 5% of the total weight of the whole packaging unit.
Mondi offers solutions with both mechanical and chemical PCR content that meet various customer needs.
