Manufacture of other rubber products
Rubber product manufacturers (seals, gaskets, hoses) use plastic bags, cardboard boxes, and foam packaging. Small rubber components sold in retail blister packs carry consumer packaging obligations. B2B bulk shipments use corrugated boxes and pallet wrap. EPR obligations depend on the packaging ownership at each stage of the supply chain.
