In this letter to the European Parliament and the European Council, civil society organisations and reuse businesses across Europe express their concern that misinformation and intense lobbying from the single-use packaging industry and the take-away sector are undermining the need for reuse as a driver for waste prevention, resource conservation and climate protection in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).  At a time where it is crucial to tackle emissions, pollution and resource use in all sectors, this regulation represents a critical opportunity for the much-needed transition towards more circular packaging systems .

 

Together with the accompanying factsheet, the documents show why the focus of decision-makers should remain firmly on the key objective of the PPWR: reducing packaging waste and improving the environmental performance of this increasingly wasteful sector.
