Driving the packaging revolution: Best practices & mandatory REUSE in the PPWR

CEGROBB is proud to be partner of the 9th ReUse Conference held in Brussels, with this years main topic: ???? ????????? & ????????? ????? ?? ??? ????

Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation

The ????????? ??? ????????? ????? ?????????? (PPWR) will set the regulative basis for the packaging sector for the next 20 years.
The draft regulation presented by the EU-Commission contains – for the first time – ????? ?????????? ??????? ??? ????? ?????? ??? ??????? ????????? ????????

This is a regulatory milestone for the REUSE sector and is a decisive step towards a true Circular Economy in the packaging industry, as the keynote speakers ?????? ????????? (Head of Unit DG Environment) and ?????? ????? (Environmental Minister Germany) stated.

Exciting presentations from organizations such as Deutsche Umwelthilfe, New ERA – New European Reuse Alliance and Reusable Packaging Europe (RPE) provided a diverse range of insights into positions on PPWR.
In a touching appeal, Nurul Fitra of Jikalahari addressed the audience to show the destructive impact single-use paper-based packaging has on forests in Riau, Indonesia.

Organizations such as Genossenschaft Deutscher Brunnen eG (GDB), STIFTUNG INITIATIVE MEHRWEG and sykell – Einfach Mehrweg showed how successful reuse systems already exist today (and in some cases have existed for over 120 years).

Best practices in pool management and cleaning are enablers for reuse

Last but not least, two companies were recognized for their efforts in ReUse and Refill.

Michel Haelterman, President of CEGROBB, handed the ???????? ?????????? ????? ???? to MMP | Mach Mehrweg Pool e.V., for operating an exemplary refillable pool system management in the food sector of Germany.

The ???????? ???????? ????? ???? went to Uzaje for its innovative and energy-efficient cleaning technology for reusable packaging.

We are looking back on a very interesting and insightful event and are proud to support our Members and Industry Partners pushing ReUse and the finalization and implementation of PPWR.
