The European Recycling Industry welcomes the EC’s proposal for the new Regulation on Packaging and Packaging Waste [COM (2022) 677] and acknowledges the Commission’s commitment to set ambitious measures to boost packaging circularity.
EuRIC’s paper outlines the key cross-cutting positions of the European Recycling Industry on the EC’s public consultation on “Reducing packaging waste – review of rules” and the proposal for a Regulation on Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR).
EuRIC represents the European recycling industry at a EU level. Gathering the vast majority of national recycling federations from EU/EEA Member States, the Confederation represents about 5.500+ recycling companies – from market leaders to SMEs – generating an aggregated annual turnover of about 95 billion € by treating various waste streams including packaging.
