  • Amendments to the Commission’s proposal for a Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) are being debated by MEPs and Member States, and proposed changes include introducing mandatory reuse targets for all materials.
  • According to independent peer-reviewed analysis commissioned by FEFCO1, mandatory reuse targets applied to all materials would increase the amount of plastic packaging in circulation and establish a plastic monopoly on some market segments.
  • This huge injection of plastic into the EU economy contradicts years of progress in curbing the use of plastic packaging in the EU and internationally.
  • In the last decade, DS Smith has developed a circular model that utilises only 100% recyclable paper-based packaging.
