Watch the video message from our CEO Ingrid Faber, which summarises the importance and benefits of PPWR
What is PPWR?
The European Union Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) aims to reduce packaging pollution and promote a circular economy within the EU.
Did you know that the PPWR applies to all packaging products, including transport packaging such as pallets and boxes? The regulation requires businesses to ensure that 40% of their transport packaging is reusable by 2030 and 70% by 2040.
Choosing partners who offer packaging and logistics solutions that align with these new regulations is essential to achieving these goals.
How does it impact your supply chain?
- PPWR affects all packaging used by businesses, including packaging for transport and storage.
- If you're still using one-way pallets or non-reusable load carriers, your supply chain could face challenges in adapting to the new requirements, as these products may not meet PPWR standards.
- Packaging that doesn’t align with recyclability or reusability requirements will likely be phased out under the new regulation.
How can IPP help you align with PPWR?
Our closed-pooling system is designed to:
- Offer circular, sustainable solutions
- Reduce waste
- Promote operational efficiency
Our load carriers already meet PPWR's vision by being sustainably sourced, minimizing CO2 emissions, and supporting recycling practices, making it easier for your business to meet evolving regulatory expectations.

With IPP, the Loop Is Always Closed — Because We Never Let Go
Under the EU’s new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), producers manufacturers are expected to take full responsibility for the lifecycle of their packaging. At IPP, we’ve built our entire model around that principle—from the beginning. In our closed-loop pooling system, IPP retains legal ownership of every pallet we put into circulation. That means we don’t just deliver packaging—we manage it. We maintain it. And we bring it back. Ownership ensures responsibility, and with IPP, that responsibility never leaves the loop.
What is the circular economy model?
The circular economy model aims to minimise waste and maximise the lifespan of resources by keeping materials and products in use for as long as possible. It's an alternative to the traditional linear "take-make-dispose" which focuses on recycling and sustainability. The circular economy approach aims to reduce waste and pollution, promote efficiency and lead to a more sustainable economic system.
