As packaging regulations tighten globally, 2026 has emerged as a decisive year for producers, brand owners, and recyclers. Compliance has evolved from a matter of policy awareness into a fundamental operational necessity, where insufficient recycling performance now translates directly into higher fees, penalties, and restricted market access. In Europe, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR 2025/40) is transforming the landscape by replacing the former directive system with a single, binding regulation across all member states. Entering into force in 2025 and becoming fully enforceable in 2026, the PPWR mandates that 65% of packaging waste by weight be recycled by the end of 2025, while requiring all packaging to be recyclable or reusable by 2030. Simultaneously, U.S. states such as Oregon and Colorado are enforcing Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws that shift the financial and operational burden of waste management entirely onto the producers.

Meeting these rigorous mandates requires a strategic shift in how we handle complex waste streams—specifically composite and multilayer materials that have traditionally been difficult to recycle. High-purity separation technology is no longer optional; it is the bridge to compliance. SUNY GROUP provides advanced recycling machinery and complete solid waste treatment solutions designed to extract maximum value from these challenging materials. Its specialized systems process polyethylene-coated paper, beverage cartons, and multilayer packaging by meticulously separating paper fiber, plastics, and aluminum into clean, reusable fractions. Whether it is paper-plastic recycling for coated cartons, paper-aluminum-plastic systems for Tetra Pak and pharmaceutical blisters, or aluminum-plastic recovery for ACP panels and multilayer films, these solutions ensure that complex waste is converted into market-ready secondary raw materials.

By maximizing material recovery and reducing contamination losses, SUNY GROUP enables companies to achieve the high reported recycling rates required by EU and U.S. authorities. Beyond the hardware, the company provides customized turnkey systems that include material testing, installation, operator training, and lifetime technical support. This comprehensive approach allows producers and recyclers to effectively control EPR-related costs and transform the regulatory pressures of 2026 into a measurable competitive advantage within the global circular economy.
