EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is nearing completion after years of negotiations. The legislative process was not completed before the EU elections in June, although political agreement was reached.

As a result, the newly elected European Parliament will have to rubber stamp the work of its predecessor in a process known as the corrigendum procedure.

The Parliament’s Legal and Linguistic Service has examined the text and made changes to ensure legal certainty and coherence.

The revised text will be presented during the November plenary session. If 36 MEPs or more signal dissent, the text could be reopened for renegotiation within the Parliament and with Member States.
