Innovative, Recyclable Packaging Compliant with PPWR
In response to new regulations and market expectations, our R&D Center at PDO has developed a series of innovative barrier packaging solutions that meet the requirements of the PPWR regulation and are recyclable.
They retain full functionality – barrier properties, required shelf life – and have been validated by independent laboratory certifications.
Created in collaboration with producers and raw material suppliers, they address real market needs without compromising on quality.
Discover packaging ready for 2030 – sustainable, technologically advanced, and responsible.
