Larissa Copello, packaging and reuse policy officer at Zero Waste Europe which is part of the alliance, said: \u201cWaste is one of the biggest environmental crises of our time, driven by our wasteful, linear economy.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD), the report outlined ways that member states can use the PPRW to implement and \u201craise the ambition\u201d of packaging reduction rules, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set higher and broader reuse targets for the sectors included in the PPWR, as well as targets for additional packaging sectors, such as binding reuse targets for the takeaway sector.<\/li>\n<li>Set fiscal or economic incentives to support the transition from single-use to reusable packaging systems, such as environmental taxes on economic operators, consumer-facing levies, and ring-fencing the funds to support reuse and waste prevention measures.<\/li>\n<li>Enhance Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), by including litter clean-up costs in the EPR fees for all single-use packaging types and earmarking a percentage, e.g. at least 10%, of the EPR fees to supporting waste prevention activities, including reuse packaging systems.<\/li>\n<li>Introduce a Deposit Return Scheme (DRS) as soon as possible: the PPWR mandates a separate collection level of 90% for plastic bottles and metal cans. Only a DRS can achieve this target.<\/li>\n<li>Invest in identifying substances of concern that negatively affect reuse and recycling of packaging materials and pose risks to human health and the environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.letsrecycle.com\/news\/eu-must-step-up-efforts-to-meet-packaging-waste-goals\/\">Let&#8217;s Recycle<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/eu-must-step-up-efforts-to-meet-packaging-waste-goals\/\">EU must \u2018step up\u2019 efforts to meet packaging waste goals<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,274,11915],"class_list":["post-138431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-eu","tag-packaging-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138431","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138431"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138431\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138431"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138431"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138431"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
