Huhtamaki welcomes European Parliament’s vote on EU Packaging
Regulation
HUHTAMÄKI OYJ PRESS RELEASE 24.4.2024 AT 15:00 EEST
The European Parliament voted to approve the Packaging and
Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) today on Wednesday April 24,
2024. The vote followed a negotiation agreement reached on March 15
between the EU institutions on the final version of the
regulation.
The negotiation agreement, now endorsed by the European
Parliament, brought significant changes compared to the original
proposal for the regulation by the European Commission specifically
in relation to restrictions of packaging formats in HORECA sector
and to take-away re-use targets.
“We welcome the European Parliament’s vote to move forward on
this important piece of environmental legislation. The regulation
includes ambitious and binding recyclability and recycling targets
for the industry. We are committed to providing our customers with
innovative and fully recyclable packaging solutions. We are pleased
that the regulation approved today by the European Parliament
respects the principle of best environmental outcomes by allowing
the use of renewable and recyclable paper-based single use
packaging in the HORECA sector”, says Charles
Héaulmé, President and CEO of Huhtamaki.
The EU Council is expected to confirm the adoption of the
regulation later during 2024 with the regulation being implemented
during year 2026.
