In 2025, we supported 75 brands in strengthening their sustainable packaging strategies, including launches with sustainability-related attributes, and completed 120+ quantitative assessments to help brands better understand the footprint of their packaging.

OUR 2025 EMEA PRODUCT LAUNCHES

  • Future Refill Connector by Berlin Packaging Beauty, refillable cosmetic bottles with pump and screw cap, showcasing modular refill system for sustainable skincare packaging.

    FUTURefill, our patent-pending refillable packaging system for beauty products combines premium design, ease of use, and circular design and enables reuse without compromising hygiene, quality, or brand experience. At its core is a redesigned pump that can be reused for up to 25 refill cycles, replacing the conventional single-use approach.

  • Infographic explaining the XOCO upcycling process for beauty packaging. The title reads “From waste to value” and highlights how hazelnut shells are transformed into a new material. The graphic shows four steps: (1) hazelnuts used in chocolate production, (2) hazelnut shells are not discarded, (3) shells are mixed with virgin PP, (4) the blend creates the new XOCO material. The text also states the benefits: “Same performance as PP,” “Upcycling: production waste becomes part of the packaging,” and “No compromise on recyclability.” XOCO is presented as an innovative, sustainable solution

    XOCO transforms hazelnut shells into an innovative PP-based compound for packaging components. Developed in collaboration with Krill Design, an Italian start-up specializing in functional fillers derived from food industry by-products, XOCO demonstrates how production residues can be repurposed into valuable packaging materials.

  • Three jars from the Easy Jar Family collection displayed on beige blocks: cashew cream (200 grams), pistachio cream (300 grams), and almond cream (100 grams).

    Developed by Studio One Eleven, Easy Jar reimagines the traditional cylindrical food jar with a clean, contemporary design and an optimized glass weight. Our design team focused on right-weighting, carefully balancing material efficiency, durability, and visual appeal through optimized wall thickness and cross-sectional design.

  • Four premium spirits bottles from the Nocturne Sculpted collection by Berlin Packaging, featuring designs named Punt, Okta, Ripple, and Ribs (700 ml), displayed on natural stone with clear and amber liquids

    Nocturne Sculpted is the first tangible expression of our “Sculpting” concept, an innovative design approach that gives glass bottles a distinctive visual and tactile identity. Developed for the spirits sector, it combines premium design, production efficiency, and material optimization.

Sustainability drives Berlin Packaging’s growth, not simply how we report on progress.

PACKAGING REGULATIONS: PREPARING FOR PPWR

In EMEA, our PPWR Compliance Assessment Tool screens packaging portfolios against current and future PPWR criteria, including recyclability performance, recycled content levels, material composition, weight and empty space ratios, problematic components, multi-material structures, and labelling and sorting compatibility.

By identifying potential compliance gaps early, we help customers build a clear roadmap toward PPWR readiness and develop compliant solutions for the 2030 requirements.

Berlin Packaging provides regulatory compliance and readiness services, including PPWR readiness assessments, gap analysis, regulatory monitoring and documentation support.
