How does OG Hemp packaging help European brands comply with the EU PPWR Directive?
OG Hemp paperboard packaging complies fully with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) by providing mono-material, 100% bio-based cellulose packaging that achieves a recyclability rate exceeding 95%. Our materials are completely free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), plastic film laminates, and synthetic coatings, satisfying strict EU circular economy thresholds.
How does tree-free hemp packaging exempt UK companies from the £217.85/tonne Plastic Packaging Tax?
Packaging manufactured with 100% plant-based hemp bast fiber is completely exempt from the UK Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT) because it contains 0% virgin fossil-fuel plastics. UK importers and retailers save £217.85 per tonne in direct tax liabilities while dramatically reducing their corporate carbon reporting footprint.
