Is the desiccant "packaging" under the EU's PPWR? Yes — and the regulator already says so.

The definition is functional: packaging is anything that protects a product. A desiccant protects against moisture. And the Commission's PPWR Q&A names "desiccant bags" directly.

So it counts toward your pack's recyclability grade. A non-recyclable silica gel sachet works against you — de:hum's paper desiccant is recyclable fiber.
