Guest article: documenting reusable packaging in the brewing and beverage industry, by Christian Gradt, PRECOGIT GmbH<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New obligations for kegs, bottles and crates<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR<\/a>), the requirements placed on companies along the entire supply chain in the brewing and beverage industry are rising. Breweries in particular, which rely on reusable kegs, returnable bottles and beverage crates, will in future have to do more than manage their stocks efficiently: they will also have to document their use and reuse transparently. The PPWR is intended to reduce packaging waste, strengthen the circular economy and promote the reuse of packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
