EU-Packaging Waste Regulation

WIRA ant the PPWR

Legal Certainty

All packaging materials we use comply with European regulations regarding recyclability and material composition.

Resource Conservation

We strictly optimize our packaging sizes to the volume of our components to minimize void space and prevent unnecessary waste.

Circular Economy

For our global B2B deliveries, we consistently rely on functioning reusable packaging systems and durable load carriers.

Taking Responsibility

Tradition Meets Responsibility

Sustainability and legal compliance are not empty promises for us; they are integral components of our ISO 14001-certified environmental management system. With the implementation of the new EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the requirements for industrial packaging are increasing and we are fully prepared.

As the Initial Distributor of our items including transport packaging, we bear the legal responsibility for the materials in which our connection elements and CNC turned parts leave our facility.
