Reuse targets rely primarily on fossil-based resources and disregard renewable materials

FEFCO supports the European Commission’s intention “to reduce the negative environmental impacts of packaging and packaging waste while improving the functioning of the internal market” via the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. The proposed legislation should also be aligned with the Circular Economy Action Plan’s objective “to ensure that packaging on the EU market is reusable or recyclable in an economically viable way by 2030”.
