Why returnable packaging management can no longer be ignored

Costs, compliance and sustainability converge. Time to take control.

The PPWR has applied since 12 August 2026. If you cannot prove where your pallets, crates and roll containers are, you pay twice: in losses and in compliance risk.

IN THE WHITEPAPER

From afterthought to management information

Packaging costs rarely sit on a single line in your budget. So they stay under the radar, until the balance does not add up at year end.

01

What the PPWR asks of you

And why reusable does not automatically mean compliant.

02

Where the hidden costs are

Loss, damage, balance disputes and hours of manual work.

03

How to take control, step by step

Over deposits, rental fees, damage and repair costs.

04

Which data you need

To prove in an audit or customer query that your packaging circulates.

DO THE MATHS

€7,500
per year, on replacement alone
Pallets in circulation10,000
Annual loss or rejection× 5%
Replacement value per pallet× €15

And 5% is conservative: for untracked pools, industry figures put annual loss between 6 and 10%. Hours spent reconstructing balances come on top.

WHY NOW

The same data that explains loss will prove compliance

Until now

A leak nobody sees

Logistics sees the flows, finance the invoices, customer service the complaints. Nobody sees the whole picture.

12 August 2026

The PPWR applies

You must show that reusable packaging demonstrably circulates within a reuse system.

2030

40% reusable

40% of all transport packaging must be reusable. Control over your pool is no longer optional.
