The Profound Impact of New EU & US Regulations on Perfume Packaging

The EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the US's Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) are two significant regulations influencing the perfume packaging landscape.

EU PPWR: A Catalyst for a Circular Economy

Core Goal: This regulation aims to minimize packaging waste, boost recyclability and reusability, and ultimately foster a circular economy.

Key Requirements:

Packaging Minimization: Restricting unnecessary packaging, such as single-use plastic multipacks. According to Global Growth Insights' report, over 60% of European consumers favor sustainable packaging.

Enhanced Recyclability & Recycled Content: Demanding higher standards for packaging design for effective recycling and mandating minimum recycled content percentages for specific packaging categories.

Promotion of Reuse and Refill: Encouraging the widespread adoption of reusable and refillable packaging options.

Substance Restrictions: Phasing out hazardous substances, such as PFAS.

US MoCRA: Ensuring Product Safety and Transparency

Core Goal: This act introduces new requirements for cosmetic products, including perfumes, to enhance safety and transparency for consumers.

Key Requirements:

Facility Registration and Product Listing: Cosmetic manufacturers must register their facilities and list their products with the FDA, including ingredient information.

Safety Substantiation: Brands must possess scientific evidence to support the safety of their products under normal use conditions.

Fragrance Allergen Disclosure: Specific fragrance allergens identified by the FDA must be clearly listed on the product label.

These regulations necessitate that perfume brands re-evaluate their packaging strategies, actively embrace sustainable practices, and ensure their packaging meets stricter safety and transparency standards.
