PPWR – Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, also known as Regulation (EU) 2025/40
Continuous quality and sustainable improvement
At Westpack we are proud to have a long history of ISO certification, with our ISO 9001 accreditation stretching back more than 30 years. Last year we not only gained our ISO 9001 recertification but also achieved accreditation in ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems. This solidifies our commitment to responsible and sustainable operations throughout the business, supply chain and wider world.
ISO 9001 is an international standard for quality management. It provides a structured framework that ensures products and services consistently meet customer expectations and regulatory requirements. Maintaining this certification confirms that our processes are reliable, compliant, and continually improving, giving our customers confidence in the quality and consistency of everything we deliver.
ISO 14001 is a global standard for environmental management. It helps organisations identify, manage, and reduce their environmental impact. Achieving this certification demonstrates our dedication to sustainability and our commitment to integrating environmentally responsible practices into our daily operations.
The ethos and good practice within the ISO 14001 accreditation is invaluable as the packaging industry embraces the role out of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and the increase sustainability drivers within the market.
Holding both certifications enables us to:
- Deliver consistent, high‑quality products and services
- Demonstrate our commitment to reducing environmental impact
- Strengthen trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders
- Foster a culture of continuous improvement across the business
These achievements form a key part of our wider strategy to enhance our systems and processes, advance our environmental and sustainability goals, and create a positive impact for our customers, stakeholders, supply chain partners, and the communities we serve.
