The beginning of the end for ketchup and mayonnaise packets: key points of the packaging law that comes into effect this Wednesday
The European standard will be applied gradually with the aim of having all containers have a minimum recyclability of 70% by 2030.
This Wednesday, the regulation on packaging and packaging waste (PPWR) comes into application in all countries of the European Union. This legislation, which replaces a 1994 recycling directive, aims to gradually reduce packaging waste from now until 2040. The implementation of all the measures set out in this new law is gradual, but it covers all packaging and packaging waste throughout the EU's territorial scope.
These are the key points of the new regulation, which has set a target for 2030 that all packaging must have a minimum recyclability of 70%.
