CE PACKAGE TO BOOST REUSE

摘要

On February 23, the provisional agreement on the four legislative proposals of the waste package were endorsed by EU ambassadors. It is hoped that the package will boost recycling and contribute to the creation of a circular economy and encourage re-use. One of the key tenets of the package will be to establish minimum requirements for all extended producer responsibility schemes. Producers of products under these schemes will bear responsibility for the management of the waste stage of their products. Producers will be required to pay a financial contribution for that.
