The EU Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is fundamentally changing how we handle packaging. Designed to drive a circular economy, it introduces new, harmonized rules for recyclability and material content across all member states.

With the August 12, 2026 deadline approaching, businesses should be reviewing their supply chains now to ensure they are prepared for these stricter market access requirements.

At Shabra Group, we’ve aligned our operations to support this transition. We are providing PPWR-ready packaging, along with the necessary Declarations of Conformity and recyclability documentation, to ensure your business remains fully compliant.

Have questions about how PPWR affects your packaging? Send us a message.

Ever wondered what happens to your recycling after it’s collected? ♻️

Behind every recycled product is a process that transforms waste into something valuable.

From collection to reproduction, each step plays a vital role in keeping materials in use and reducing environmental impact:
🔹 Collecting – Recyclables are gathered from homes and businesses
🔹 Sorting – Materials are separated for proper processing
🔹 Processing – Items are cleaned, shredded, and converted into raw materials
🔹 Reproduction – Those materials are used to create new products

It’s how we move from waste to resource, and closer to a circular economy.

Learn more about how recycling works and how your business can be part of the process.

What happens after recycling? ♻️

At Shabra Group, recycling is just the beginning.

Used plastics are collected from homes and businesses, carefully sorted, and processed to ensure quality and consistency. Through cleaning, shredding, and refining, these materials are transformed into high-quality rPET - ready to become new packaging all over again.

It’s how we turn waste into a valuable resource and support a smarter, more sustainable future.

Together, we’re closing the loop for a cleaner, greener planet.

Did you know that what most people see as waste… is actually raw material in the right hands?

In the past year, over 10,907 tonnes of plastic bottles were reprocessed, the equivalent of 545 million bottles given a second life.

Alongside this, 2,926 tonnes of DRS material were recovered, and 837 tonnes of recycled plastic bags were produced, turning waste into over 10.6 million new LDPE bags.

This isn’t just an environmental win, it’s a shift towards a truly circular system, where materials are kept in use, not lost to landfill or incineration.

As regulations tighten and demand for recycled content grows, the ability to recover, reprocess, and remanufacture at scale is no longer optional, it’s essential.

Second Life. Not End of Life.

Recyclable vs compostable; they’re not the same.

Recyclable materials are designed to be collected, processed, and turned into new products.
Compostable materials break down into organic matter, but only under specific conditions.

Knowing the difference helps ensure waste goes into the right system, and actually delivers its environmental benefit.

Small choices in sorting make a big difference. ♻️🌱

Choose the right bin, every time.
