Manufacture of engines and turbines, except aircraft, vehicle and cycle engines
Engine and turbine manufacturers use heavy-duty crates, foam packaging, VCI wraps, and desiccants for corrosion protection. Large industrial equipment requires bespoke packaging solutions. EPR obligations cover all packaging supplied with the product, and the high per-unit packaging weight of heavy machinery means even low-volume manufacturers can exceed EPR tonnage thresholds.
