Afera welcomes clarification
under PPWR on industrial The clarifi cation confi rms that adhesive process fi lms, when used to enable or facilitate manufacturing processes and remaining on semi-fi nished products until further transformation or assembly, are not considered packaging under Article 3(1) of the PPWR. This outcome represents an important step forward for the adhesive tape and broader manufacturing industries, providing greater regulatory certainty and supporting effi cient and sustainable industrial processes. The clarifi cation follows a period of constructive dialogue between industry stakeholders and the European Commission. This work was carried out through a collaborative eff ort within Afera, involving several member companies, including Novacel, Polifi lm and Nitto,
bringing together technical expertise and aligned industry input. Afera played a key role in facilitating this alignment and ensuring that the collective industry perspective was clearly represented. This co- ordinated approach was instrumental in achieving a balanced and workable interpretation of the regulation.
