EDITOR'S NOTE |
Circular Plastic Packaging Solutions Gain Momentum |
In Europe, where extended producer responsibility (EPR) is widely established, and the EU’s Proposal Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR) and UN regulations (INC-2) are on the horizon, circularity in plastic packaging is more than a purpose-led mission. It’s becoming a business imperative since economic penalties are expected to be levied on brands who don’t use the amounts of PCR prescribed by the EU (30% by 2030).
While this obviously isn’t the case in the states, it might be time for the U.S. to take a page
from this model lest continue to trail the EU in making sustainability a part of consumers and CPGs every day.
