Amcor, a global leader in developing and producing responsible packaging solutions, hosted a customer event at its facility in Steinfeld, Germany, focused on the upcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and its implications for logistics packaging.
The event brought together stakeholders from across the packaging value chain to explore how evolving European regulations are shaping logistics packaging design, recyclability and material selection. Attendees included representatives from the Bundesvereinigung Logistik (BVL) – a non-profit association founded in 1978 to promote awareness of logistics and supply chain management across industry, science and the public sphere – as well as leading organizations from the logistics and industrial packaging industries.
Guests also toured the Steinfeld site’s manufacturing operations to see how innovation in materials and processes is helping Amcor’s customers advance towards upcoming PPWR targets and more circular packaging solutions.
As part of the discussions, guests were introduced to Amcor’s stretch hood film solutions for pallets, designed to withstand the rigors of the supply chain while supporting sustainability goals such as reduced reliance on virgin materials through post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and downgauging, enabling customers to lower their plastic use and move toward more circular packaging systems.
“The PPWR will bring significant changes to how packaging is designed, produced, and managed across Europe,” said Daniel Stauber, sales director at Amcor. “Our discussions focused on how we can navigate these changes together – combining regulatory readiness with technical innovation and reliable performance. Coming together like this strengthens our shared understanding of both challenges and opportunities, and reinforces how collaboration is key to achieving practical, circular outcomes.”
“Events like this provide an important platform for open dialogue on how logistics and packaging can evolve to meet new regulatory and sustainability challenges,” said Gerald Honerkamp, deputy spokesperson regional group Münster/Osnabrück of Bundesvereinigung Logistik (BVL). “As a network, our focus is on connecting stakeholders to share knowledge and drive practical solutions across the supply chain.”
As part of its wider logistics packaging range, Amcor also offers Bontite stretch wrap – a technically advanced blown machine film with recycled content options. Its high stretch performance enables down-gauging and reduced material use while maintaining pallet stability for efficient, reliable pallet stabilization.
In addition, Amcor provides a broad range of heavy-duty primary and secondary packaging solutions for consumer and industrial markets – from films for growing media and chemical products to packaging for FMCG applications – all developed to balance performance and efficiency while supporting customers’ sustainability objectives.
