The beginning of a new year always brings renewed ambition, fresh ideas, and a clear space to rethink what comes next. For brands across every sector—from pet food and FMCG to coffee, sports nutrition, and beyond—2026 is already shaping up to be a pivotal year. Sustainability targets are tightening, regulatory pressures are mounting, and consumer expectations have never been higher.
If there was ever a time to make the switch to recyclable or recycle-ready packaging, 2026 is it. And at Law Print, we’re here to help you make that transition confidently, creatively, and with long-term strategy in mind.
Why 2026 Is the Year to Act
Upcoming changes in packaging legislation—including the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and evolving Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes across the UK, Europe, and further afield—are setting clear expectations for brands. Recyclability is no longer a “nice to have”; it’s quickly becoming mandatory.
Brands that start transitioning now will be better positioned to avoid compliance challenges, meet retailer requirements, and stay competitive in a market moving rapidly toward circularity.
Switching to recyclable or recycle-ready packaging isn’t just about meeting regulations—it’s about future-proofing your product line, strengthening brand credibility, and reducing environmental impact.

At Law Print, sustainability and performance go hand in hand. Our team of Flexible Packaging Specialists has led the market in high-quality, customer-focused solutions for over two decades—and now, we’re expanding.
