Europe’s Packaging Rules Are Changing. Is Your Biodegradable Film Strategy Ready?

EU packaging regulation changes: Biodegradable alternatives for landfill reduction under France and new European Union sustainability laws

Packaging in Europe is no longer just about function — it’s about footprint.

🇪🇺 From France’s AGEC Law to the upcoming revisions of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), the message is clear for all packaging material suppliers:

❗ Reduce landfill with sustainable packaging solutions
❗ Eliminate fossil-based plastics by switching to fossil-free, biodegradable film
❗ Embrace truly eco-friendly packaging film — whether biodegradable, recyclable, or compostable


The Challenge

Many so-called green” plastic solutions fail to meet real-world sustainability or regulatory expectations. Some biodegradable films:

– Only degrade under strict industrial composting conditions, not in natural environments
– Leave behind microplastics, defeating the purpose of eco-friendly packaging
– Require entirely new processing equipment, disrupting high-speed production lines
– Compromise on seal strength, flexibility, or barrier properties, making them unsuitable for hygiene and packaging applications


ABT™ PE Film by Sanvera

At Sanvera, we’ve developed ABT™ (Anaerobic Biodegradation Technology) — a breakthrough biodegradable film designed for real-world results.

✅ Landfill-safe biodegradation: This anaerobic biodegradable film breaks down in oxygen-free environments, generating CO₂, CH₄, ammonia (if nitrogen is present), and trace minerals — with no microplastics left behind.

✅ Drop-in compatibility: ABT™ runs smoothly on existing diaper, sanitary pad, and packaging lines, eliminating the need for equipment changes — a truly drop-in compatible film.

✅ No trade-offs: Maintains full shelf life, seal strength, and performance across hygiene and packaging applications.

✅ Lab-proven biodegradation performance: Third-party tested to degrade within 3 years under anaerobic conditions.


 Why This Matters for European Brands

Choosing ABT™ biodegradable film means you’re not just adapting to Europe’s evolving packaging laws — you’re getting ahead of them:

  • Lower regulatory risk by using a certified anaerobically biodegradable film
  • Support your ESG and circular economy goals with truly eco-friendly packaging solutions
  • Offer consumers a transparent, effective sustainability story built on proven biodegradation performance

Ready to future-proof your material supply chain?

Whether you’re producing breathable backsheet film, composite packaging, or print-grade PE film — ABT™ offers a smart, scalable alternative.

Let’s talk about how it fits your application. Samples and biodegradation reports available upon request.
