From August 2026, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will set new standards for sustainable packaging. As manufacturers transition to recyclable mono-materials and reduced material thicknesses, sealing processes become more critical than ever. These new materials often behave differently during sealing, making conventional technologies reach their limits.
At ROPEX, we believe the sealing process is the key to successfully implementing the PPWR. Our impulse sealing technology is specifically designed to process modern packaging materials with maximum precision and repeatability. By accurately controlling temperature, sealing time, and pressure, heat is applied only where and when it is needed. This protects sensitive materials, ensures consistently high seal quality, and minimizes energy consumption and material waste.
Test new materials in the ROPEX lab
The transition to recyclable, mono-material, and paper-based packaging solutions brings new challenges for sealing processes. Our sealing samples helps manufacturers understand how their materials perform under real production conditions and identifies the optimal sealing parameters for reliable results.
With precise laboratory testing and detailed documentation, we support the successful implementation of sustainable packaging materials while ensuring consistent seal quality.
Let’s shape the future of sustainable packaging together.
