The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is pushing brands toward full recyclability by 2030. Packaging leaders are under pressure to rethink barrier solutions that actually work with recycling streams. Traditional multilayer and plastic-heavy coatings no longer fit the bill. Companies now need sustainable, recyclable, and high-performance functional barriers that ensure product safety and extend shelf life.
To help you navigate this fast-evolving space, we’ve put together a sample report highlighting the latest innovations in functional barrier technologies.
This sample is part of GreyB’s Paid Technology & Material Landscape Study on Functional Barriers, designed to give R&D and sustainability teams a clear view of what’s next.
Inside the complete study, you’ll find:
- Commercialized Materials: EVOH-free mono-material PE films, AlOx/SiOx coatings, and recyclable laminates.
- Emerging Solutions: Bio-based barriers from potato peels, tomato pomace, and mineralized PLA coatings that balance recyclability and compostability
- Case Studies: Breakthroughs from innovators like Bobst, Dow, IonKraft, and Smart Planet Technologies.
- Compliance Insights: How new solutions align with PPWR recyclability thresholds and help avoid EPR penalties.
- Future Outlook: Which material pathways hold the most potential for scalable, regulation-ready packaging?
The sample provides a snapshot of these advancements, showing how functional barriers are evolving to meet performance, sustainability, and compliance goals simultaneously.
