Mosca welcomes the Packaging and Packaging Waste RegulationPPWR): The aim of promoting recycling and optimizing the use of resources is in line with our own long-standing commitment to greater sustainability at the end of the packaging line. The EU Commission has granted an exemption for the reuse of pallet wrapping and strapping material by means of a delegated act. We at Mosca have joined forces with other European manufacturers to jointly obtain an exemption. 

What is the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)?
The PPWR is a new regulation adopted by the Commission of the European Union, also known in the media as the EU Packaging Act. It regulates the handling of packaging within the European Union and obliges the EU member states to reduce the consumption of plastic packaging and also to further promote the circular economy of packaging plastics. The PPWR sets four targets for this: Replace, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.

What is Mosca s position on the PPWR?
We very much welcome and support the PPWR , as we have been committed to more sustainable materials and a circular economy at the end of the packaging line for many years. The PPWR 's aim to promote recycling and optimize the use of resources is in line with our philosophy and our goals for a more sustainable future, such as building a circular economy for strip materials. 

What is the current status of the PPWR and what will happen next?

The European Parliament and the Environment Council adopted the PPWR at the end of January. The EU-wide regulation came into force on 12.02.2025. Depending on the applicable article, the first measures will take effect in mid-2026. However, the EU Commission can issue delegated acts that allow exceptions to the targets and requirements set out in the PPWR . We welcome the definition of recycling quotas, but we are in favor of a delegated act with regard to reuse quotas. We expect a decision on this by the end of 2025. 

What does the PPWR in its current form mean for End-of-Line?
On the one hand, the PPWR requires minimum recycled content in plastic packaging, which we are already achieving in some cases with our tapes. We are also constantly striving for higher recycled content in our other consumables and are working hard to be able to offer products with the required quotas.
On the other hand, the PPWR currently also specifies reuse quotas for pallet wrapping and strapping in Article 29. We - as well as experts from associations such as the PAU, VDMA and the German Plastics Industry Association - view these critically, as they are not technically feasible and do not make ecological or economic sense. We are trying to prove this scientifically as part of the project alliance. 

As part of the first reading in the European Parliament (EP), the EU Commission has announced a clear statement on a planned exemption for stretch wrapping film and strapping. Commissioner Sinkevičius explained:

"In the light of the concerns and calls for action, the Commission will launch an assessment of this issue by the end of this year and address it as a matter of priority upon the entry into force of the Regulation. To this aim, the Commission will adopt without delay a delegated act to exempt plastic pallet wrapping and straps ..."

Why is it not practical to reuse strapping and stretch wrap film?
Strapping and stretch wrap film are cut when they are first removed and cannot be reused for exactly the same purpose without being recycled in an intermediate step. If the straps and film already in use were to be reused, safety risks would arise during transportation. Alternative means of securing goods for transportation, such as lattice boxes or crates, are neither an ecologically nor economically sensible alternative.

What does the PPWR mean for our customers?
The European Commission has promised to adopt a delegated act for plastic pallet wrapping and strapping that exempts both materials from the specified reuse quotas. We are confident that our scientific research will lead to an exemption. This gives our customers planning security and the certainty that strapping and wrapping of their products will continue to be permitted in the future and, in addition to minimal packaging, is also a scientifically proven sensible form of packaging.
We already meet some of the other requirements contained in the PPWR today. For example, a high proportion of our PET is already made from PCR recyclate. We are also working intensively on establishing a circular economy for strapping.  

Will customers still be allowed to strap or wrap their products in the future?
Yes. The European Commission is working on drafting a delegated act that excludes plastic pallet strapping and wrapping from the reuse quotas set out in the PPWR . Strapping and wrapping would therefore continue to be a reliable way of protecting goods and securing supply chains in accordance with the Transport Security Act, which remains in force. 

How is Mosca committed to sustainability and the circular economy?
We have been working intensively for many years to achieve greater sustainability in end-of-line Packaging - starting with strapping as minimal packaging, through the use of recycled materials, to the creation of a closed loop for recycling our strapping. In a demo project with Interzero , we were able to show that we could close the loop from used strapping to new strapping.
