Circular Economy: Where does the EU stand?

The transition of the European economy towards greater circularity has become increasingly prominent in recent years with the Green Deal. Since 2019, the EU Commission has submitted various legislative proposals aimed at transforming the single market to reduce the environmental impact of economic activities in various sectors, including the packaging sector. 

The Packaging and Packing Waste Regulation (PPWR) is one of the most impactful files for the sector and the adopted text leaves some opened questions for policymakers. What does the new European Mandate hold for the future of the Green Deal, and that of environmental policy?
