Background

Since the adoption of the Green Deal in 2019, the European Union (EU) has stepped up its sustainability ambitions for the agri-food chain. This also applies to food packaging and other food contact materials for which there are currently various legislative proposals under discussion at EU level. As a result, in the next few years ahead there might be a raft of new sustainability requirements in place impacting packaging design, packaging waste management and environmental claims.  

To help enterprises better understand their obligations and the current situation, ChemLinked invited Mr Francesco Montanari to share his insights on the current state of Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and other relevant pending dossiers, such as UCPD, the Green Claims Directive, and ESPR.
