Staying Ahead of Global Packaging Regulations

Navigating Packaging Legislation & Compliance

Manufacturers today face a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape driven by sustainability mandates and circular economy goals. From the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) to regional frameworks in India and Mexico, maintaining compliance while protecting production efficiency requires deep technical and legislative expertise.

Husky's compliance expertise and proven technologies keep manufacturers ahead of changing packaging laws, meeting today's requirements while preparing for tomorrow's changes.

Understanding Global Requirements

Meeting Evolving Packaging Legislation

Husky's regulatory knowledge and proven solutions enable manufacturers to address current and emerging legislation across global markets, including:

  • The EU’s Single-Use Plastics Directive compliance with tethered closure designs (molded-in bridge, slit, or hybrid)
