(6) Many Member States have not yet completely developed the necessary waste management infrastructure. It is therefore essential to set clear policy objectives in order to avoid locking recyclable materials at the bottom of the waste hierarchy and to set incentives for investments into an innovative waste management infrastructure.

Recital 7
(7) With the combination of recycling targets and landfill restrictions laid down in Directives 2008/98/EC and 1999/31/EC, the Union targets for energy recovery and the recycling targets for packaging waste laid down in Directive 94/62/EC are no longer necessary. Nevertheless, energy recovery is allowed provided that it is technically, economically and environmentally justified, which needs to be carefully assessed on a case-by-case basis.

Proposal for a directive
Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) Targets for the recycling of plastic packaging waste for 2025 have been set taking into account what was technically feasible at the time of the revision of the Directive; the Commission may propose revised levels of the targets for plastics for 2030 based on a review of progress made by Member States towards reaching those targets, taking into account the evolution of the types of plastics placed on the market and the development of new recycling technologies and the demand for recycled plastics. Additionally, the Commission will assess, one year after the date for transposition of this Directive, whether the targets will still be reachable for Member States with the revised definitions and calculation methods in place. If the assessment shows that this is no longer the case, the Commission will come up with a proposal on revised targets.

Recital 21
(21) Since the objectives of this Directive, namely on the one hand, to prevent any impact from packaging and packaging waste on the environment or to reduce such impact, thus providing a high level of environmental protection, and, on the other hand, and equally important, to ensure the functioning of the internal market and to avoid obstacles to trade and distortion and restriction of competition within the Union, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States, but can rather, by reason of the scale or effects of the measures, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives,
