Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2

(2) In addition, packaging uses high amounts of virgin materials (40 % of plastics and 50 % of paper use in the Union is for packaging) and represents 36 % of municipal solid waste30. High and constantly growing levels of packaging generated as well as low levels of re-use and poor, and in some cases almost failed, recycling, systemspresent significant barriers to achieving a low-carbon circular economy. For these reasons, this Regulation should establish rules over the entire life-cycle of packaging contributing to the efficient functioning of the internal market by harmonising national measures, while preventing and reducing the adverse impacts of packaging and packaging waste on the environment and human health. By laying measures in line with the hierarchy of waste, it should contribute to the transition to a circular economy. _________________ 30 Eurostat, Packaging waste statistics: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics- explained/index.php?title=Packaging_wast e_statistics

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12

(12) In line with the waste hierarchy set out in Article 4(2) of Directive 2008/98/EC, and in line with life-cycle thinking to deliver the best overall environmental outcome, the measures provided for under this Regulation aim at reducing the amount of packaging placed on the market in terms of its volume and weight, and preventing the generation of packaging waste, especially through ~~packaging minimisation~~minimising packaging to the greatest extent possible, avoiding packaging where it is not needed, and increased re-use of packaging. In addition, the measures aim at increasing the use of recycled content in packaging, especially in plastic packaging where the uptake of recycled content is very low, as well as higher recycling rates for all packaging and high quality of the resulting secondary raw materials while reducing other forms of recovery and final disposal.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 15

(15) Taking into consideration the scientific and technological progress, packaging should be designed and manufactured in a way as to limit the presence of certain heavy metals and other substances of concern in its composition. As stated in the Chemicals Strategy for Sustainability, substances of concern are to be minimised and substituted as far as possible, phasing out the most harmful ones for strictly non-essential societal use, in particular in consumer products. Accordingly, substances of concern as constituents of packaging material or of any of the packaging components should be minimised with the objective to ensure that packaging, as well as materials recycled from packaging, do not have an adverse effect on human health or the environment, throughout their life-cycle.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 34

(34) For materials other than plastic, such as glass or aluminium, the trend to replace primary raw material with recycled materials is evident and expected to continue because of the development in the legal and economic environment and the consumers` expectations. Nonetheless, the Commission should monitor closely the use of recycled content in packaging materials other than plastics and should assess the appropriateness of proposing to establish further measures, including setting targets, aiming to ~~increas~~further promote the use of recycled content in packaging other than plastic packaging.

Recital 35

(35) The bio-waste waste stream is often contaminated with conventional plastics and the material recycling streams are often contaminated with compostable plastics. This cross-contamination leads to waste of resources, lower quality secondary raw materials and should be prevented at source. As the proper disposal route for compostable plastic packaging is becoming increasingly confusing for consumers, it is justified and necessary to lay down clear and common rules on the use of compostable plastic packaging, mandating it only when its use brings a clear benefit for the environment or for human health, as well as appropriate labelling of such packaging. This is particularly the case when the use of compostable packaging helps collect or dispose of bio-waste.

Recital 50

(50) In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of the labelling requirements, the power to adopt implementing acts in accordance with Article 291 of the Treaty should be delegated to the Commission to further improve waste sorting, to establish the conditions for identifying the material composition of packaging by means of digital marking technologies, and to lay down detailed harmonized specifications for the labelling requirements for packaging and waste receptacles established under this Regulation. When developing these specifications, the Commission should take into account the latest scientific or other available technical information, including relevant international standards. In view of the new system, Commission Decision 97/129/EC59should be repealed as of 42 months after the date of entry into force of this Regulation and its content incorporated into this implementing act. _________________ 59 Commission Decision of 28 January 1997 establishing the identification system for packaging materials pursuant to European Parliament and Council Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste (OJ L 50, 20.2.1997, p. 28–31).
