Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive is a European law that aims to reduce environmental impact from packaging. It encourages the use of environmentally friendly materials, minimizes waste, and promotes recycling and reuse. Companies must design packaging that is sustainable, and member states set targets for recycling and reducing packaging waste. The goal is to protect natural resources and ensure packaging is managed in an eco-friendly way throughout its life cycle.
