Billerud’s European production of packaging materials is the first to be third-party assessed as 100% recyclable, according to EU legislation proposed for 2030. This reinforces Billerud as a world leader in sustainable packaging.
The standards proposed by the coming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) are high, but Billerud has been meeting high standards for many years. This is why we reached the goal seven years in advance and are the first in the world to do so. Whatever type of 100% recyclable paper or packaging material you need, contact our team to achieve your sustainability goals. Together, we will customize a solution with tomorrow in mind!

Polyethylene resin producers are implementing a 5th price increase to the market on all grades of polyethylene effective December 1st, 2020. The polyethylene supply chain has had additional production disruptions with unplanned shutdowns in Texas and Mexico. These outages have tightened an already stressed supply chain for raw material as demand for PE products continues to remain strong. Consistent with this market change, effective with orders placed on or after February 6th, 2021 for immediate shipment (normal lead times), Heritage Bag will increase stock pricing on all can liner and food bag products by 6%. Non-guaranteed contracts will also be raised 6% on that date. We are unable to extend additional price protection or accept loading orders in advance of the price increase.
Known for their leadership in innovation and sustainability, Henkel AG & Co. KGaA is a German multinational brand-owner in industrial and consumer goods products, with a portfolio that includes laundry and home care products and hair care, as well as adhesives, sealants and functional coatings. According to Carsten Bertram, Head of Packaging Sustainability at Henkel Consumer Brands, the company has been preparing for the PPWR transformation for several years: “The PPWR levels the playing field and incentivizes the transition to a circular economy. Despite some policy details and many delegated acts still pending, all companies in the packaging value chain need to get involved now.” Packaging innovations enhance recycling
At its core, the PPWR outlines that all packaging must be designed for recycling by 2030. Here, labels play a crucial role, despite being a small component of the overall package. “The increased adoption of wash-off labels is vital for the industry in the next years,” Carsten states. “We have already started to include wash-off labels especially for PET packaging and labels which do not hinder the recycling of HDPE.”
