A “totally revised” edition of Europen’s guide to European environmental legislation affecting packaging and packaged goods takes account of relevant EU policy developments and voluntary initiatives, as well as changes introduced at national level since the previous edition was published in 2007.
The key European legislation in this area is the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive 94/62/EC. The business of every company operating in Europe is affected by this legislation and by the adaptation of its requirements into national law in each EU Member State. Its twin objectives were to provide a high level of environmental protection and avoid obstacles to trade and competitive restrictions or distortions in the European market.
Europen’s new guide contains an analysis and interpretation of the overarching legal setting in which the industry operates, and an explanation of the CEN harmonised standards. As legislation regarding packaging is also constantly evolving in the 27 Member States, the guide also lays out the relevant legislation country-by-country.
The guide is free to Europen members, and available for €70 to non-members.
