On behalf of over 120 industry associations and a broad coalition of businesses committed to circularity, Plastics Recyclers Europe sent a letter to key European Commission representatives to reiterate the strategic importance of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
The PPWR provides the necessary framework to scale up recycling of different materials such as plastics, secure investments, and deliver on Europe’s resource efficiency, circularity and climate objectives. It establishes a long-awaited harmonised framework for packaging legislation that is essential for the proper functioning of the Single Market.
The focus should now be on its effective and timely implementation, notably through the development of clear, robust and evidence-based secondary legislation, in close consultation with industry and technical experts.
