Proactive EU PPWR Compliance: Ningbo Airmei Fully Transitions to Fully Biodegradable PLA Packaging Tape
Date: August 14, 2026 | Location: Ningbo, China | Category: Sustainable Packaging / EU PPWR Compliance / Global Supply Chain | Brand: BSFL
| NINGBO, CHINA — August 14, 2026 — In response to global plastic reduction mandates and the European Union’s latest Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), Ningbo Airmei Technology Co., Ltd. (Airmei) today officially announced the full implementation of certified PLA (Polylactic Acid) fully biodegradable packaging tape across its export packaging and logistics operations. This milestone reinforces Airmei’s commitment to green supply chain excellence and provides a seamless, eco-compliant foundation for its brand, BSFL, in international B2B and B2C markets. |
In response to EU PPWR regulations, Ningbo Airmei Technology Co., Ltd. (Airmei) officially transitions to certified biodegradable packaging tape across all international logistics. As a leading beauty tool supplier, Airmei ensures eco-compliant shipping for its brand, BSFL.
Aligning with EU PPWR Regulations for Seamless Global Compliance
The EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets strict targets for recyclability, biodegradability, and hazardous substance restriction in packaging materials entering the European market. By adopting fully biodegradable PLA tape, Airmei directly addresses these critical regulatory requirements:
- Hazardous Substance Control: Strict limits on heavy metals and plasticizers ensure packaging waste leaves zero harmful chemical residue in natural environments.
- Plastic Reduction & Bio-based Materials: Derived from renewable plant resources like corn starch, PLA tape aligns with EU directives on replacing traditional single-use plastics.
- Frictionless Customs Clearance: Provides international B2B buyers and importers with packaging solutions that meet all current European environmental compliance standards without clearance hurdles.
Rigorous Third-Party Testing: Quality & Environmental Assurance
According to official test reports (Report No.: 2612303817) issued by the authoritative third-party testing agency Zhejiang Fangyuan Test Group Co., Ltd., Airmei’s PLA biodegradable tape demonstrates outstanding physical performance and complete environmental safety. It fully complies with GB 43352-2023 (Limits of Heavy Metals and Specific Substances in Express Packaging) and YZ/T 0160.2-2017 (Tapes for Postal and Express Packaging – Part 2: Biodegradable Tapes).
| Test Item | Standard Requirement | Measured Result | Compliance Status |
| 180° Peel Adhesion (Normal) | ≥ 2.5 N/cm | 3.0 N/cm | PASSED |
| Tensile Strength (Longitudinal) | ≥ 20 N/cm | 27 N/cm | PASSED |
| Initial Tack / Holding Power | ≥ No. 14 / ≥ 24 h | No. 20 / ＞ 48 h | PASSED |
| Total Heavy Metals (Pb+Hg+Cd+Cr) | ≤ 100 mg/kg | Not Detected (ND) | PASSED |
| Specific Elements (Pb, Hg, Cd, Cr, Mo, Se, As, F) | Strict Limit Standard | Not Detected (ND) | PASSED |
| Phthalate Plasticizers (6 Types) | Each ≤ 1000 mg/kg | Not Detected (ND) | PASSED |
| Total Solvent Residue / Odor | ≤ 10 mg/m² / / | 0.23 mg/m² / Level 1 (Odorless) | PASSED |
The test results confirm that while the PLA tape is 100% compostable and non-toxic under natural environment conditions, its adhesion, tensile strength, and holding power equal or surpass standard shipping tapes, ensuring secure carton sealing during long-distance ocean and air freight.
