How to Reduce PPWR-Driven
Cost Increases in Transport Packaging?
Why is it important to address PPWR now?
Many still treat PPWR as a sustainability issue and postpone it as a future task. However, its impact appears much earlier in operations, especially where packaging, material usage, and pallet stability are directly interconnected.
Cost increases do not appear suddenly. They gradually build into processes through changes in material composition, increasing recycled content, and the narrowing flexibility of suppliers, all of which affect machine performance and pallet behavior.
The consequences typically appear in the following areas:
- Higher material prices
- Inconsistent material quality
- Increased machine downtime and scrap
- Unstable pallets and rising complaints
- Increasing cost per pallet
This eBook helps you avoid significant cost increases and ensure a smooth transition.
What will happen if you do not prepare
If you only begin preparing for PPWR around 2028-2029, you are likely to face the following:
More expensive PCR-content film
Higher price per kilogram, without reduced usage
New material - machine issues
Non-optimized machine settings, tearing, downtime
Uncertainty - allowances
More film, more strapping, larger boxes
Compliance on paper
In practice, HUF per pallet cost increases
Unstable pallets
Transport damage and complaints
Invisible cost increase
PPWR will gradually increase the cost of transport packaging processes by embedding itself into daily operations.
What do you get in the "How to Reduce PPWR-Driven Cost Increases?" eBook?
This is not another eBook about the legal interpretation of PPWR. We provide a tangible, practical guide that demonstrably reduces, and in some cases avoids, PPWR-driven cost increases.
A clear PPWR timeline
Focused on transport packaging.
Concrete examples of hidden cost increases
Showing where cost increases actually arise and remain hidden.
Shifting from HUF/kg to HUF per pallet as a KPI
An approach to making the shift, achieving up to 30% cost reduction.
Practical steps for the transition
Material reduction, volume reduction, controlled PCR transition, and structured testing and machine-setting logic.
A list of typical mistakes
That cause companies to lock in elevated packaging costs for years.
Manupackaging
Manupackaging has been working in transport packaging for more than twenty years. Film is always evaluated together with the machine and the settings, because real results depend on their alignment.
The objective in every case is to reduce material usage. Together with their partners, they work to reduce film consumption by up to 70%, while maintaining stable pallets. In many cases, this also means up to 30% cost reduction per pallet.
Solutions are tested in real production environments, based on on-site measurements and concrete data. Sustainability has been a core operational principle from the beginning. The goal is reduced material usage, more stable pallets, and lower costs.
This eBook shares that practical experience and introduces a mindset that helps you manage the changes associated with PPWR.
