EU PPWR Article 24 Checklist: Slashing Empty Space and Freight Costs

A technical guide to complying with the EU PPWR Article 24 empty space ratio mandates using the Muge Accordion Box.

The 50% Rule: Navigating the Most Disruptive Packaging Law

Article 24 of the EU PPWR 2026 is here. Grouped, transport, and e-commerce packaging must now have a maximum empty space ratio of 50%. This is the 'Death of Air' in logistics.

Compliance Checklist

  1. Audit your current grouped packaging void space.
