Huhtamaki welcomes the European Parliament’s position on the
Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation
HUHTAMÄKI OYJ PRESS RELEASE 24.11.2023 AT 14:15 EEST
The European Parliament voted on
proposed new EU rules for packaging and packaging waste on
Wednesday November 22. Members of Parliament voted to approve the
proposal by the European Commission with amendments.
Key amendments adopted by the European
Parliament include deletion of proposed single-use bans in the
HORECA sector and removal of re-use targets for take-away food and
drinks.
“We are pleased that the version of
Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation approved by the European
Parliament follows the principle of respecting best environmental
outcomes as it altered the original proposal of the European
Commission by allowing use of renewable and recyclable paper-based
single use packaging in the HORECA sector and by removing re-use
targets for take-away food and drinks”, says Charles
Héaulmé, President and CEO of Huhtamaki.
After the European Parliament’s vote,
the next step in the EU legislative process for the file is a
decision by the EU Council on their position followed by final
negotiations between the European Commission, European Parliament,
and Council. The final version of the regulation is expected to be
adopted during H1 2024 and it would come into force gradually
starting from year 2026.
