The new PPWR: facts, figures and future

NVC members meeting
Live Hybrid from the NVC Auditorium (Gouda)
Thursday 13 June 2024
2-4 PM CEST

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD) has been in force in Europe since December 1994, and a new European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is in the pipeline. During the plenary meeting on 24 April 2024, the European Parliament approved the final provisional agreement (673 kB) on the PPWR. The text will now be revised by the lawyer-linguists. The final step is adoption by the newly elected EU Parliament and by the Council.
