PACKAGING WASTE IN EU
The PPWR stands for Plastic Packaging Waste Regulations) entered into force on 11 February 2025 and its general date of application is 18 months after that.
The rules aim to minimise the quantities of packaging and waste generated while lowering the use of primary raw materials and fostering the transition to a circular, sustainable and competitive economy.
By replacing the PPWD, the new regulation harmonises national measures further – strengthening the internal market – notably for secondary raw materials, manufacturing, recycling and reuse.
It aims to:-
- Prevent and reduce packaging waste, including through more reuse and refill systems.
- Make all packaging on the EU market recyclable in an economically viable way by 2030.
- Safely increase the use of recycled plastics in packaging.
- Decrease the use of virgin materials in packaging and put the sector on track to climate neutrality by 2050
Law
The PPWR establishes a new set of requirements in line with Europe’s waste rules that cover the entire packaging life cycle – from product design to waste handling.
By 2030, the measures are expected to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water use, while preventing and reducing the adverse impacts of packaging and packaging waste on the environment and human health.
