Five PPWR Pillars
How our molded pulp tableware satisfies each core requirement of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.
Recyclable
Under PPWR, all packaging must be recyclable at scale by 2030. Molded pulp tableware integrates into existing paper and cardboard recycling streams without contamination — unlike plastic-lined alternatives that require special treatment.
Reusable
PPWR encourages reusable packaging systems. Our durable molded pulp products are sturdy enough for multiple uses in food service settings, reducing single-use waste while meeting hygiene standards.
Compostable
For applications where recycling is not practical, PPWR accepts industrially compostable packaging certified to EN 13432. Our bagasse and bamboo tableware fully decomposes in industrial composting facilities within 90 days.
Reduced Weight
PPWR mandates packaging weight and volume minimisation. Molded pulp is lightweight by nature — our products achieve the same strength as plastic alternatives at a fraction of the weight, lowering transport emissions and material use.
Recycled Content
PPWR sets mandatory recycled content targets for plastic packaging. By choosing molded pulp — a material made from renewable agricultural by-products rather than virgin or recycled plastic — you bypass plastic content requirements entirely.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation)?
The PPWR — EU Regulation (EU) 2025/40 — is the European Union's comprehensive packaging legislation that requires all packaging placed on the EU market to be recyclable or compostable, with targets for recycled content, reuse, and waste reduction by 2030 and 2040.
Is molded pulp tableware compliant with PPWR?
Yes. Molded pulp tableware is classified as recyclable in paper/cardboard recycling streams and is industrially compostable (EN 13432), meeting the PPWR requirement that packaging must be either recyclable or compostable.
Are your products compostable?
Yes. Our molded pulp tableware, made from sugarcane bagasse, bamboo, and wood pulp, is fully biodegradable and industrially compostable. It decomposes within 90 days under industrial composting conditions, returning to the soil without microplastic residue.
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
MOQ varies by product. As a manufacturer, we offer flexible quantities — from small trial orders to large container loads. Contact us with your requirements for a tailored quotation.
What is your typical delivery time?
Standard delivery is approximately 24 hours from our warehouse. For custom or bulk production orders, lead time is typically 2-3 weeks depending on order size. We ship worldwide via sea and air freight.
Do you have certifications for food-contact safety?
Yes. We hold ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), BSCI (social compliance), FDA (US food contact), and LFGB (German/EU food contact) certifications. All our products are PFAS-free and safe for hot and cold food.
