The new European rules on packaging and packaging waste<\/strong> have started to apply across the European Union. The regulation introduces more harmonised requirements for manufacturers, importers and distributors, with particular focus on sustainability, labelling, identification of responsible parties and the safety of packaging that comes into contact with food.<\/p>

For many companies, this change does not only affect the sustainability department. It also affects purchasing, importing, warehousing, distribution and order preparation.<\/p>

When a company places products on the European market, packaging is no longer a secondary element: it becomes part of regulatory compliance. If the manufacturer or importer cannot be properly identified, if the marking is not adequate or if the packaging does not meet the applicable requirements, the operation can lead to incidents, delays or the need to reprocess goods.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

For importers and exporters, the key point is anticipation. It is not enough to review the product; companies must also review the packaging, transport packaging, associated documentation and supply chain traceability.<\/p>

At GMR Global Trans<\/strong>, we help customers integrate these changes into logistics operations:<\/p>

• We coordinate product, packaging and documentation information from the origin.<\/li>
• We help detect possible documentary risks before the goods reach destination.<\/li>
• We organise import, warehousing and distribution taking into account traceability and control requirements.<\/li>
• We work with customers so logistics is not only about moving goods, but also about regulatory continuity.<\/li><\/ul>

  In an environment where sustainability and compliance are increasingly important, a well-organised logistics chain can prevent hidden costs and improve service reliability.<\/p>

  GMR Global Trans: logistics with documentary control so new packaging requirements do not slow down your operations.<\/strong><\/p>
