PACKAGING
Recycling waste packaging is an important part of efforts to reduce the impact of waste on the environment and transition to a circular economy.
Waste packaging is packaging that can no longer be used or has become waste after fulfilling its original purpose. It includes a variety of materials such as plastics, glass, metals, paper and cardboard that can be recycled or processed in other ways.
In 2020, on average, each person in the EU generated 34.6kg of plastic packaging waste, of which 13.0kg was recycled, corresponding to a recycling rate of 38%.

Recycling rates vary between EU member states, with countries such as the Czech Republic, Spain and the Netherlands having rates close to 50%. In 2019, nine EU member states recycled more than half of their plastic packaging waste.
The EU has set specific recycling targets for various materials. By 2025, the recycling targets are 65% for all packaging, 50% for plastics, 25% for wood, 70% for ferrous metals, 50% for aluminium, 70% for glass and 75% for paper and cardboard. These goals will increase until 2030.
The EU has established rules on packaging and packaging waste, which include recycling targets and requirements for recycled content. These rules are designed to address the growing volumes of packaging waste and to coordinate national measures to manage packaging waste.
