The European Organization for Packaging and the Environment (EUROPEN) has welcomed the objectives of the Single-Use Plastics (SUP) Directive by the European Parliament last week, with some reservations.
EUROPEN said it supported the EU’s overarching objectives of taking action against litter and marine litter in particular and raising awareness about this problem, and called for calls for a harmonised, consistent and proportionate implementation.
It called on the European Commission and Member States to clarify the provisions in legislation that remain ambiguous in order to ensure unified implementation across Europe.
EUROPEN also called on EU policymakers to focus their future work on ensuring coherence among the various (existing and upcoming) EU laws that regulate the production and use of packaging as well as the management of packaging waste in Europe.
