The workshop placed special emphasis on the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), which entered into force on February 11th, 2025 and will be fully enforced from August 12th, 2026. This regulation introduces uniform rules across all EU member states on packaging design, recyclability, waste reduction, and traceability. For Sri Lanka, where Ceylon Cinnamon enjoys PGI recognition, aligning with PPWR is critical to safeguarding brand authenticity, avoiding costly recalls, and strengthening consumer trust. Their presentations provided practical insights into selecting appropriate packaging methods and materials to maintain product quality, minimize waste, and ensure compliance with EU requirements. Through initiatives like this, the EDB’s National Packaging Centre continues to play a pivotal role in strengthening Sri Lanka’s packaging sector, fostering innovation, and supporting the sustainable growth of agricultural exports.
