The right shielding is crucial!
ESD packaging and storage systems
ESD packaging with a shielding effect offers several advantages, particularly when it comes to protecting sensitive electronic components from electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- Protection against electrostatic fields
- Discharge of electrostatic charges
- Prevention of charging
- Additional mechanical protection
PPWR: Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation
New EU regulation on packaging and packaging waste from 08-2026. This new EU regulation aims to make the packaging industry more sustainable by reducing waste volumes, promoting the circular economy and setting minimum requirements for the recyclability of packaging and the use of recycled materials. It came into force on 11 February 2025 and will be binding from 12 August 2026.
What does the PPWR mean for ESD packaging?
New EU directive on reducing packaging waste
The PPWR (Plastic and Plastic Waste Regulation) focuses on recyclability and reusability. By 2030, all new packaging placed on the market must be recyclable or reusable.
ESD-PROTECT already offers ESD packaging that complies with or even exceeds the new PPWR (Plastic and Plastic Waste Regulation):
- PaperStat: permanently dissipative ESD bag made from 100% recycled paper
- PinkPoly Bag (dissipative) with increased PCR recycling content
- Shielding bags, mono-PET of recycling class 1
- CompoStat: compostable, permanently dissipative plastic
