EU - Review of Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive

Business description

In a ‘circular economy’, waste is reduced and goods are re-used and recycled as much as possible. This means that packaging waste should also be reduced, and packaging should be made easier to recycle.

The Commission will review the requirements on packaging and packaging waste in the EU. This will include assessing how to:

- improve packaging design to promote reuse and recycling

- increase recycled content in packaging

- tackle excessive packaging

- reduce packaging waste.

This adopted proposal is open for feedback for at least eight weeks until January 26, 2023. The consultation period is planned to be extended every day until this adopted proposal is available in all EU languages.
