The European Paper Packaging Alliance (EPPA) has issued fresh calls for the European Commission to put the full product life cycle at the heart of its vision for a circular economy, and not to use the upcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation proposal to effectively outlaw packaging solutions that are more sustainable.

Key Points: 
  • The European Paper Packaging Alliance (EPPA) has issued fresh calls for the European Commission to put the full product life cycle at the heart of its vision for a circular economy, and not to use the upcoming Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation proposal to effectively outlaw packaging solutions that are more sustainable.
  • The results show that switching to reusable alternatives would generate 48% more CO2-equivalent emissions, consume 39% more freshwater and demand 82% more mineral and resource extraction.
  • Commenting on the findings, Eric Le Lay, President of the European Paper Packaging Alliance said:
    This is more proof that reusable packaging is not always the best solution for the environment.
  • It is imperative that proper life cycle analysis be reflected in the text of the EUs Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation proposal.
