Development and optimization of circular packaging

Packaging should protect the product and the environment throughout the entire chain – from production to consumer.

At the same time, requirements are becoming more stringent. The EU’s new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets requirements for recyclability, materials intended for food contact must comply with strict safety standards, and dangerous goods require certified testing. Companies must navigate complex regulatory frameworks, verify material properties, optimize transport packaging, and develop sustainable solutions, all at the same time. Failure to comply with legal requirements or incorrectly assess packaging performance can lead to product damage, recalls, and loss of market access.

RISE supports you throughout the entire packaging development process, from chemical analysis and food safety to transport testing and sustainable material development. We verify that your materials comply with food contact regulations, test packaging performance under transport conditions in our ISTA-certified laboratory, and help you adapt to new environmental requirements such as PPWR. Certification of e-marking and dangerous goods packaging helps ensure regulatory compliance and market access. Through the industry networks NORMPACK and MILJÖPACK, you receive continuous guidance on regulations, while Bioeconomy Arena provides support in developing bio-based packaging solutions, from concept through scale-up.
