⏰ The PPWR went into law almost one year ago. Your packaging strategy needs to adapt now.

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation officially took effect in February 2025, pushing food manufacturers toward recyclable mono films and away from composite materials. But here's the challenge: switching materials isn't just about compliance — it's about machine compatibility, process optimization, and material science.

Andreas Dietrich from Weber Food Technology breaks down the tradeoffs:

PP vs. PET — the hidden complexity:
→ PP: Contamination-resistant sealing, but slower cycles (~12/min max) and narrow thermal window
→ PET: Superior transparency and gas barrier, but zero tolerance for overheating
→ The 5% rule changes everything for EVOH barrier layers

The European split:
Germany's cold cuts sector is dividing — PET for sliced cheese, PP for cooked sausage. But across Europe? The trend is shifting based on how Member States implement PPWR requirements.

📍Here's what most producers miss: labeling compliance requirements that could invalidate your entire material switch.

🍅🔬 Taste you can see: hyperspectral imaging is redefining quality control in the food industry. Read more in our here: https://www.anugafoodtec.com/magazine/hyperspectral-imaging.php?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=magazine&utm_term=Hyperspectralimaging

At Anuga FoodTec, innovation reaches the molecular level. Unlike conventional systems that only scan surfaces, hyperspectral imaging (HSI) provides a deeper insight, capturing the chemical makeup of foods in real-time. From assessing sugar content in cherry tomatoes to identifying ripeness and internal defects without a single touch, this tech is turning quality control into a science of precision.

With AI-powered software and high-speed HSI cameras, food producers can now detect what the human eye can’t: flavour-relevant data, freshness indicators, and more, all while keeping up with industrial production speeds. 🍓📸

As seen in systems by Specim and Condi Food, HSI is already transforming how food is evaluated, sorted, and guaranteed at scale. At Anuga FoodTec, you’ll get an exclusive look at how technology is making the invisible visible.

At Anuga FoodTec, Reinhard Vanhöfen discussed how artificial intelligence is revolutionising supply chain management, making operations more efficient, sustainable, and resilient. 🤖

Read more about AI in Supply Chain Management in our here: https://www.anugafoodtec.com/magazine/ai-in-supply-chain-management.php?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=magazine&utm_term=aisupplychain

AI-driven production planning enables manufacturers to align production volumes precisely with demand, significantly reducing resource use and spoilage. Advanced forecasting algorithms improve delivery reliability and decrease stock levels, thus minimising supply chain risks and optimising both energy and material consumption, especially when coordinating with renewable energy sources like solar power.

The AI software from OMMM supports the entire supply chain, integrating all inventory, spanning raw materials to finished goods, into its planning process. This approach generates major efficiencies, delivering concrete outcomes such as millions in annual cost savings per plant by lowering storage expenses, cleaning and setup costs, and product rejects. The system also reduces planning time from days to minutes, paving the way for faster, more informed decisions. 💻

📈 Success with AI implementations is tracked through KPIs such as setup and cleaning costs, storage costs, capital tied up, disruption response expenses, plant efficiency, digitisation level, sustainability metrics, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction.
