The packaging industry is undergoing a seismic shift. On 12 August 2026, the European Union's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR, Regulation (EU) 2025/40) officially became applicable across all member states, replacing the decades-old Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC). This landmark regulation mandates that all packaging must be designed for recycling by 1 January 2030 and capable of being recycled at scale by 2035. It also requires minimizing packaging weight and volume, with a maximum empty space ratio of 40%. For businesses shipping products to Europe, compliance is no longer optional—it is an urgent operational imperative.
This is where Aircosan steps in. As a premier cardboard shredder manufacturer with deep research and development capabilities, Aircosan is uniquely positioned to help businesses meet these stringent new requirements. Our factory is currently the only manufacturer in the market capable of producing cardboard shredders up to 120cm in cutting width—a testament to our engineering excellence and technical mastery.
Our flagship P120 industrial cardboard shredder is engineered for the demands of large-scale logistic packaging operations. With a cutting width of 120cm, a maximum cutting thickness of 20mm, and a cutting speed of 12 meters per minute, the P120 transforms bulky cardboard waste into high-quality, expandable paper packing material in seconds. This on-site packaging solution eliminates the need for purchased void-fill, directly helping businesses save packing cost while achieving full eco-friendly packaging compliance.
The P120 is more than a shredder machine for cardboard—it is a comprehensive packaging equipment system that supports carton recycling and paper recycling at an industrial scale. By converting waste into valuable paper packing material, businesses can turn waste into treasure and demonstrate tangible commitment to biodegradable packaging principles. The machine's expanding cutting technology produces a protective, honeycomb-like mesh that provides superior cushion design for glass packaging, cosmetics packaging, and daily goods packaging.
As the PPWR takes full effect, the pressure is on for businesses to adopt Environmentally friendly packaging solutions. Aircosan's factory-direct manufacturing ensures every machine is built with industrial-grade components and backed by our R&D team's expertise. Our ability to produce the industry's widest cardboard shredder—the P120 at 120cm—demonstrates our commitment to innovation and protective packaging excellence. Partner with Aircosan and turn regulatory challenge into competitive advantage.
