Exploring the Implications: FEVE Analyzes the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation’s Impact on Plastic Waste

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) set by the European Union carries overall waste reduction targets, but according to FEVE, one major winner emerges – plastics. As the European Commission’s impact assessment predicts a decrease in packaging waste for most materials by 2030, plastic waste, on the contrary, is projected to increase by 17.4 percent. This unforeseen consequence raises questions about the intended vision of waste reduction by European policy-makers. FEVE advocates for a more nuanced approach, urging the PPWR to establish material-specific targets to ensure equitable packaging waste reduction across all materials. For a comprehensive understanding of FEVE’s stance, the complete position statement can be found here.
