Will 2022 be the year we see PPWD revisions published?
Throughout the first half of 2022, we are going to keep our eyes open and ears to the ground as the European Commission is expected to propose its revision of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive on 20 July 2022.
The revision of this Directive will set forward conditions to put packaging on the EU market. It will provide a great opportunity to reduce packaging and help the EU transition to reusable packaging. We are advocating for the Directive to include overall binding packaging reduction and reuse targets - our recommendations for these can be found here.
Once proposed, the revision of the Directive will be discussed and amended by the European Parliament and the Council (i.e. Member States).
