PPWR Packaging with Enhanced Oxygen Barrier (RECPACK B)

Product Description

PPWR packaging with an enhanced oxygen barrier (RECPACK B line) is a mono-material variant aligned with Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR), offering a higher oxygen-barrier level for products that need better protection than the standard variant. Learn more: What is PPWR?

Applications

  • Oxidation-sensitive food products (ground coffee, nuts, snacks)
  • Pet food with higher barrier requirements
  • Industrial and chemical products requiring oxygen protection
  • PPWR-compliant packaging with extended product shelf life

Packaging Type

Mono-material PP or PE with an enhanced oxygen barrier, available in MDO/LDPE, OPP/OPP and CPP/CPP structures. Minimum order quantity (MOQ): 500 kg for mono-film. Lead time: 3–5 weeks from design approval. Production compliant with BRC Packaging (grade A) and HACCP certification.

Printing

Flexo HD printing, up to 8 colors.

What RECPACK B Replaces

RECPACK B replaces aluminum-layer composites used solely to achieve an oxygen barrier — it delivers comparable protection without losing the recyclability of a mono-material. The aluminum layer, while effective as a barrier, makes packaging practically impossible to recycle in standard sorting facilities.

Business Benefits of Switching to Mono-Material

Beyond regulatory compliance (PPWR Article 6: 70% recyclable-design compliance from 2030, large-scale recycling from 2035, 80% compliance for grade A/B from 2040), enhanced-barrier PPWR packaging brings real business benefits: simplified recycling with no layer separation needed, higher-quality recycled feedstock, and preparing your brand for the growing requirements retail chains place on suppliers.

Variants in the line: RECPACK (standard variant), RECPACK B+ (EVOH layer, highest barrier). See also our full range of BISS foil packaging.

How does RECPACK B differ from the standard variant?

RECPACK B has a higher oxygen-barrier level, extending shelf life for more oxidation-sensitive products, while keeping the same mono-material recyclability.

Does RECPACK B contain aluminum?

No, the oxygen barrier is achieved without an aluminum layer, so the packaging remains 100% mono-material and recyclable.

What does RECPACK B replace?

Aluminum-layer composites used solely for an oxygen barrier — comparable protection here, without losing recyclability.

What is the minimum order quantity?

The minimum order for RECPACK B is 500 kg for mono-film.

What is the lead time?

Typically 3–5 weeks from design approval.
