Labeling compliance doesn’t have to slow you down. Our global teams stay ahead of changing regulations so you don’t have to — helping you simplify processes, reduce risk and keep your packaging moving confidently, no matter what the rules bring next.
Legislations
Evolving legislation is continuously reshaping the packaging industry, and labels are right at the center of it. From recyclability targets to chemical restrictions, regulations are accelerating the shift toward circularity, safer materials and smarter design.
EPR
In today’s global marketplace, packaging is a regulated asset with significant legal and financial weight. As countries transition to mandatory Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws, the "Polluter Pays" principle is now the global standard.
Understanding these shifts is critical, as many of our Asian brands export to strict markets like Europe and North America. It is critical to align with local Design for Recycling (DfR) standards in order to mitigate risks such as import bans and additional fees.
PPWR
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is a key part of its Circular Economy Action Plan. It requires all packaging on the EU market to be reusable or recyclable in an economically feasible way by 2030. If you're an Asian business exporting to Europe, here are the measures that could directly impact your labelling choices.
EUDR
The EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) prevents products that contribute to global deforestation from entering the EU market. For the labeling and packaging industry, this means paper-based materials must be traceable to the plot of land where they were harvested. To avoid market disruptions, ensure your supply chain is transparent and compliant with these rules.
