Cooler bag with recycled content statement EU
Your PPWR-Ready Partner for Delivery Bags, Food Delivery Bags, and Insulated Solutions
Effective 12 August 2026, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) (EU) 2025/40 introduces mandatory recycled content targets for plastic packaging placed on the EU market. For procurement managers sourcing a cooler bag with recycled content statement EU, the supplier must deliver not only product performance but also verifiable documentation—without which shipments face customs rejection or market withdrawal.
Recycled Content Requirements Under PPWR – What Your Cooler Bag Must Meet
Under PPWR Article 7, from 1 January 2030, each plastic part of packaging must contain a minimum percentage of post-consumer recycled content:
| Packaging Type | 2030 Target | 2040 Target |
|---|---|---|
| Contact-sensitive PET packaging | 30% | 50% |
| Contact-sensitive plastic (non-PET) | 10% | 25% |
| Single-use plastic beverage bottles | 30% | 65% |
| Other plastic packaging | 35% | 65% |
For cooler bags used in food contact applications, the 10% recycled content target applies if the plastic component is non-PET, while PET-based components are subject to 30% targets. Plastic parts representing less than 5% of total packaging weight are exempt from these targets
