#30.01.2024 APEAL / MPE POSITION PAPER PPWR JANUARY 2024
APEAL, representing the steel for packaging sector, and MPE, representing the rigid metal packaging industry, welcome the direction taken both by the European Parliament (EP) and the Council on the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
However, our sectors would like to draw attention to four main points:
– Art. 6.11 – the net cost of collection, sorting and recycling infrastructures of the different packaging types
– Art. 3.1.31a – the definition of ‘recyclability’
– Art. 26 – the listing of some packaging under the category of transport packaging
– Art. 2.1 – the exclusion of packaging for the transport of dangerous goods from the scope of the regulation.
Our recommendations for the inter-institutional negotiations on these specific points can be found in the attached Position Paper.
The full position paper from the Permanent Materials Alliance can be found here.
