Meat plants need packaging that is both hygienic and reusable; disposable options fail the first audit while PPWR pushes hard on the second.
The cold chain’s disposable link
Carcass and cut lines move in crates binned at the chill dock, a habit hygiene teams accepted because nothing validated was available.
Pain: the sanitising standard gap
A veterinary check blocks improvised reuse, so plants are caught between a hygiene rule they must pass and a reuse target they cannot hit with throwaway plastic.
