EU Packaging law: a source of inspiration for the Asia-Pacific region?
In February 2025, the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation entered into force, with new measures to prevent packaging waste, promote reuse, and tackle the environmental hazards caused by excessive packaging. What do these new rules mean for the Asia-Pacific region, and what opportunities do they open?
With the EU SWITCH-Asia Policy Support Component, the European Environment Bureau held a webinar on the EU Packaging law – as part of a series of webinars exploring the implications of EU policies on sustainable consumption and production for partner countries, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region.
This brief aims to capture the ideas shared during the webinar.
