Navigating the PPWR: How digital asset management ensures compliance & sustainability
Offering a clear path to sustainability and efficiency

With sustainability at the forefront of global conversations, the European Union is pushing for more stringent measures to tackle packaging waste. The new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is set to transform how businesses handle packaging waste, promoting recycling, reducing environmental impact, and encouraging the use of recycled materials. But as the EU works toward these ambitious goals, many businesses in industries such as asset pooling, flower, transport and logistics and load carrier manufacturers face increasing pressure to adapt.
Ensuring compliance and sustainability
For companies managing non-powered assets and returnable transport items (RTIs), such as pallets, crates, and roll cages, the PPWR introduces new requirements for tracking and reporting on recycled content and packaging recyclability. These non-powered assets play a critical role in the efficient transportation of goods, and compliance with PPWR regulations is essential to avoid penalties and enhance sustainability practices.
How Connected Load Carrier can help
At Connected Load Carrier, we specialize in making supply chains digital by offering innovative solutions that streamline the management of non-powered assets. As the PPWR demands greater transparency and accountability in packaging and asset management, our digital solutions can help companies ensure compliance while optimizing their operations.
By leveraging our technology, businesses gain valuable insights into their assets, including load carrier movements throughout the entire supply chain. With detailed insights into asset movements, businesses can optimize the chain, reducing unnecessary asset movements and, in turn, lowering emissions.
Beyond compliance: driving business benefits
Compliance with the PPWR not only ensures adherence to regulations but also unlocks significant business advantages. By proactively adapting to these new regulations, companies can achieve cost savings through improved efficiency and waste reduction, while aligning with Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action).
Moreover, enhanced transparency throughout the supply chain can lead to better resource management, reducing operational costs. Demonstrating a commitment to sustainability can also improve a company’s brand reputation, making it more attractive to environmentally conscious consumers and investors. Being ahead of the regulatory curve opens up new market opportunities, particularly in industries prioritizing green practices.

Our focus on digitizing supply chains means that we are uniquely positioned to help companies adapt to these new regulations. By providing relevant data on asset utilization, recyclability, and material content, we enable businesses to make informed decisions that align with the PPWR’s goals of sustainability and waste reduction.
