BRILIAN EBB's briefing on PPWR

The EBB briefing outlines the key aspects of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) formally adopted by the European Council in December 2024. The regulation aims to reduce packaging waste, introduce recycled content targets, restrict single-use plastics, and promote reusable and compostable packaging. It emphasizes the role of biobased plastics in achieving EU circular economy goals. While the regulation mandates compostability for specific applications, it allows Member States flexibility for broader use, potentially creating market disparities. The document also highlights the importance of secondary legislation and the gradual implementation timeline.
