11 February 2025, the revised <\/span>Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation<\/span><\/a> came into force. In this article, we provide an overview of the key provisions of this Packaging Regulation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The revised Packaging Regulation introduces new provisions for high-quality recycling, reuse, prohibited products and the introduction of deposit and return systems (DRS), among others. The legislation has also changed from a directive, to a regulation. This means that it has immediate* effect in European member states.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*The regulation contains a lot of so-called \u2018secondary legislation\u2019 : that is to say \u2018implementing acts\u2019 and \u2018delegated acts\u2019 that will only be adopted at a later date.<\/i><\/span>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/fairresourcefoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Timeline-PPWR.png” title_text=”Timeline PPWR” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” border_radii=”on|20px|20px|20px|20px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row make_equal=”on” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#FFFFFF” z_index=”99″ width_tablet=”90%” width_phone=”90%” width_last_edited=”on|phone” max_width=”90%” max_width_tablet=”90%” max_width_phone=”90%” max_width_last_edited=”on|tablet” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”2%|5%|2%|5%|true|true” custom_padding_tablet=”2%||0%||false|true” custom_padding_phone=”5%||0%||false|true” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.2″ _module_preset=”default” z_index=”99″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Soulcraft Wide|||on|||||” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” header_3_font=”Soulcraft Wide||||||||” header_3_text_color=”gcid-77784515-52da-45c3-b038-e5c2d51b4bf9″ header_3_font_size=”1.8vw” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”-20px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”||||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”4vw” header_3_font_size_phone=”5vw” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-77784515-52da-45c3-b038-e5c2d51b4bf9%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22,%22text_text_color%22,%22header_3_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

Policy process<\/b><\/h2>\n

In November 2022, the European Commission (EC) published its proposal for the revision of the – at the time – Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD). Prior to this official publication, an earlier version of the proposal was already leaked. This version included ambitious targets for reusable packaging and the use of recycled content. The leaked version caused a lot of commotion, especially among <\/span>packaging producers<\/span><\/a> who were considering the proposal unachievable. As a result, the European Commission’s final proposal was considerably watered down. At the time, Fair Resource Foundation wrote a <\/span>critical analysis<\/span><\/a> comparing the two versions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Soulcraft Wide|||on|||||” header_2_line_height=”1.5em” header_3_font=”Soulcraft Wide||||||||” header_3_text_color=”gcid-77784515-52da-45c3-b038-e5c2d51b4bf9″ header_3_font_size=”1.8vw” header_3_line_height=”1.3em” custom_margin=”0px||||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”||||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”-20px||||false|false” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_padding=”||||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”4vw” header_3_font_size_phone=”5vw” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-77784515-52da-45c3-b038-e5c2d51b4bf9%22:%91%22header_2_text_color%22,%22text_text_color%22,%22header_3_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

The European Commission’s proposal was followed by lengthy negotiations in the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union, in which member states are represented. In November 2023, a year after the EC’s publication, the European Parliament agreed to a much weakened version of the proposal. It appeared that <\/span>unprecedented lobbying<\/span><\/a> from the business community had paid off. Parliament deleted almost all provisions to reduce unnecessary packaging, as well as the vast majority of reuse targets for 2040. Some reuse targets (e.g. for beverages) were retained, but reduced and provided with exceptions to such an extent that they are still barely effective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Member states also arrived at a common vision within the EU Council. Several member states, including the <\/span>Netherlands<\/span><\/a>, worked to maintain and, where possible, raise the European Commission’s level of ambition. The final Council <\/span>position<\/span><\/a> followed in December 2023, which included proposing new reuse targets and keeping the waste prevention measures proposed by the European Commission.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The beginning of 2024 was marked by the so-called trilogue negotiations between the European Commission, Parliament and Council to reach an agreement. This negotiation process was concluded in March 2024. The result: a regulation that sets European reuse targets for the first time, puts an end to certain unnecessary packaging, plans the introduction of deposit return systems in all EU member states and sets clear rules for high-quality recycling. Yet the many exemption clauses create open loopholes. A missed opportunity, according to us. <\/span><\/p>\n

Given that the PPWR contains 70 articles, we would like to note that this overview is not exhaustive. In this section, we give an overview of some of the most important points of the revision. For instance, the harmonization of labelling requirements, a direct ban on PFAS and the minimization of empty spaces within packaging are – albeit important – not detailed below. <\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most important and ambitious elements of the PPWR are the waste prevention targets. Each Member State must reduce <\/span>packaging waste generated<\/span><\/a> by 5% by 2030, 10% by 2035 and 15% by 2040, compared to 2018. It is important to note that these targets apply per Member States and not for the Union as a whole. Each Member State will have to proactively reduce its own packaging waste.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bans, reuse and refill targets,\u00a0 packaging reduction and minimization targets put forward by the regulation are an essential first step to reach those prevention targets. However, given the <\/span>current yearly increase<\/span><\/a> of packaging waste in many Member States, it is to be expected that additional measures will be needed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The PPWR leaves room for – and encourages – MS to go beyond the requirements it sets (recital 149). They can introduce extra bans and use economic and fiscal incentives, as long as this doesn\u2019t impede the single EU-market. Some of those additional measures include broadening the scope of DRS to include other types of single-use packaging such as drink cartons and single-use glass (art. 50) or DRS for reusable packaging (art. 51). But also the use of fiscal and economic incentives such as with extra taxes or <\/span>levies for single-use packaging<\/span><\/a> paid by distributors, extra communication requirements or <\/span>measures at the local level<\/span><\/a>. The set up of more ambitious reuse targets and the use of <\/span>EPR<\/span><\/a> and DRS budgets to finance reduction and prevention actions are also additional measures left to Member States\u2019s discretion.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Although severely <\/span>weakened throughout the legislative process<\/span><\/a> and through industry lobby such as McDonald <\/span>No Silver Bullet campaign<\/span><\/a>, the introduction of binding reuse targets are crucial for the scale-up of reuse systems for packaging in all Member States.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
