Regulatory deadlines are reshaping packaging procurement. This 30% PCR rPET jar is engineered to keep your brand compliant, shelf-ready, and audit-proof.
The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) mandates a minimum of 30% recycled content in PET food-contact packaging by 2030. Waiting until 2029 means competing for limited resin capacity and paying premium prices. Sourcing now locks in supply, pricing, and compliance documentation before the market rush.
Major retail chains such as Tesco have committed to full rPET jar adoption. Private-label and branded suppliers who transition early will protect shelf placement and strengthen buyer relationships. Delayed transitions risk audit failures and lost listings.
Recycled content only works if it is safe enough for direct food contact. Our rPET passes the industry's most rigorous food-contact evaluations.
The rPET stream is produced using EFSA-evaluated super-clean recycling processes and supported by FDA food-contact assessment. Every batch is tested against EU 10/2011 overall and specific migration limits, making the jar suitable for direct contact with nuts, candies, dried fruit, and snacks.
Our 30% PCR content is backed by GRS (Global Recycled Standard) chain-of-custody documentation. You receive transaction certificates for every shipment, giving procurement teams the audit trail required for ESG reporting, EPR compliance, and retailer due diligence.
Beyond compliance, this jar is designed for high-speed production, retail security, and premium shelf presentation.
The wide-mouth neck fits standard filling and capping equipment, minimizing changeover time and maximizing throughput. For end consumers, the wide opening improves access and scooping experience — a small detail that drives repeat purchases.
The PP screw cap with break-away band provides visible first-opening evidence without requiring additional liners or machinery changes. It protects brand integrity and gives retailers the security standards they demand.
Five reasons procurement and sustainability teams choose this jar.
30% post-consumer recycled content meets the EU PPWR 2030 mandatory threshold for PET food-contact packaging and aligns with California SB54 compliance trajectories. Buy once, stay compliant through the deadline.
Produced from EFSA-evaluated super-clean recycling processes with FDA food-contact assessment. Safe for direct contact with nuts, candies, dried fruit, and snacks.
PP screw cap with break-away band delivers visible first-opening evidence, protecting brand integrity on retail shelves.
Crystal-clear walls showcase product quality; the wide opening integrates with automated filling lines and improves end-consumer scooping experience.
PET jar recycles within existing PET streams, supporting your brand's circular economy and EPR reporting.
The 30% PCR rPET Food-Grade Wide-Mouth Clear Jar (500ml) with Tamper-Evident Lid is the compliance-first rigid packaging solution for snack, nut, and confectionery brands selling into the EU and North America. With the European nut and snack market valued at €35 billion, packaging decisions are now compliance decisions: the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) mandates a minimum of 30% recycled content in PET food-contact packaging by 2030, and California's SB54 sets parallel recycled-content and recyclability obligations for the US market. This jar meets both trajectories today.
Manufactured from 30% GRS-traceable post-consumer recycled PET blended with food-grade virgin resin, the jar delivers the shelf clarity buyers expect from virgin PET while carrying verifiable recycled-content documentation for your ESG and EPR reporting. The food-contact safety of the rPET stream is supported by EFSA-evaluated recycling processes and FDA assessment, making it suitable for direct contact with dry foods, nuts, and confectionery.
Retail momentum is already here: major chains such as Tesco have committed to full rPET jar adoption, signaling that private-label and branded suppliers must transition now to protect shelf placement. The wide-mouth neck runs on standard filling and capping equipment, and the tamper-evident PP lid with break-band satisfies retail security requirements without added liners or machinery changes.
Available in bulk with custom colors, embossing, labeling, and PCR percentages from 30% to 100%, this jar is the fastest route for procurement teams to lock in 2030-ready packaging supply.
