EU PPWR

Latest update

On 24 April 2024, the EU Parliament adopted the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), a comprehensive legislation adding new obligations across the value chain which add to the current Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) and Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD).

Next steps:

The EU Council needs to formally approve the agreement before it can enter into force. This will earliest happen in 4Q 2024 (est.).

Key requirements will then need to be complemented by detailed and technical acts of secondary legislation in the coming years.

Key provisions which are relevant for TOMRA

Recycled content (plastics)

Minimum % of recycled content
from post-consumer waste
2030 2040
Single use plastic beverage bottles 30% 65%
Contact-sensitive packaging:
- PET as major component 30% 50%
- PET not as major component 10% 25%
Other types of packaging 35% 65%

Obligations to provide the option of reusable packaging within a system for reuse (aim for 10% reuse offer from 2030) for take-away beverages and ready-prepared food.

Deposit return systems

By 1 Jan 2029, requirement to
set up DRS to ensure >90%
collection of single use plastic
beverage bottles and metal
cans.
By 2030, 10% of beverage
containers placed on the
market are to be in reusable
packaging. The PPWR
encourages the integration
of reuse into DRS collection
infrastructure.

Reuse obligations Waste management

By 2030, all packaging must be recyclable by design. By 2035, it must be recyclable in practice using installed infrastructure and established processes which ensure that >55% of packaging per material category gets recycled.

Note: The above is based on a preliminary assessment and provisions may contain derogations.

Food Business update

  • Low revenues in 1Q due to seasonal variation in combination with a soft order intake in the third quarter 2023.
  • Weak market sentiment continues in fresh food categories while the potato category continues to perform well.
  • Cost reduction and restructuring program is progressing according to plan.
  • New technology showcased at Fruit Logistica Berlin, including TOMRA's AI powered Neon for blueberries and LUCAi for fresh fruit including cherries and apples.

Growing order backlog up 8% (currency adj.) compared with 1Q 2023
