Metaúdaje publikácie
The Essential Requirements, which all packaging placed on the EU market needs to comply with, were first introduced in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD – Directive 94/62/EC), as defined in Article 9 and Annex II. They relate to the manufacturing and composition of packaging, the reusable/ recoverable nature of packaging and hazardous materials to be minimised in packaging. These requirements, and the associated harmonised standards, have not changed substantially since their introduction, and previous studies have identified the Essential Requirements as potentially requiring further attention to improve packaging design, particularly in relation to the lack of recyclability of many packaging formats. In addition, the policy landscape has evolved significantly since the PPWD first established the Requirements; the 2018 revision of the PPWD included, in addition to a revision of the recycling targets for packaging waste, a mandate for the Commission to examine “the feasibility of reinforcing the essential requirements with a view to, inter alia, improving design for reuse and promoting high quality recycling, as well as strengthening their enforcement.” This study supported the European Commission’s review of the effectiveness and shortcomings of the Essential Requirements, identifying potential measures for their reinforcement, and conducting a preliminary assessment of the likely impacts of these.
