Packaging

Packaging must protect both the product and the environment throughout the entire supply chain, from manufacturing to consumer use. At the same time, requirements are increasing: the EU's new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) stipulates that packaging must be recyclable; materials in contact with food must meet strict safety requirements; and dangerous goods must undergo certified testing. Companies must navigate complex regulations, verify material properties and optimise transport packaging, while also developing sustainable solutions. Failure to comply with legal requirements or incorrectly assessing packaging performance can result in product damage, product recalls, and loss of market access.
RISE can support you throughout the entire packaging development process, from chemical analysis and food safety to transport testing and sustainable material development. We verify that your materials comply with legal requirements for food contact, test the durability of packaging for transport in our ISTA-certified laboratory and help you adapt to new environmental requirements, such as the PPWR. Certification of e-marking and dangerous goods ensures market access and regulatory compliance. Through our business groups, NORMPACK and MILJÖPACK, you will receive ongoing guidance on regulations. Through Bioeconomy Arena, we will develop bio-based packaging solutions with you, from concept to scale-up.
