Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) Waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency, to reduce the environmental impact of waste and to promote recycling materials of high quality. For these reasons, Member States should adopt a life-cycle approach in order to reduce the environmental impact of products. They should in particular reduce single-use, non-recycled packaging and excessive packaging, especially where it consists of non-recycled materials.

Recital 5
(5) Through a progressive increase of the existing targets on preparing for re-use and recycling of packaging waste, without undermining security of food supply, consumer health and legislation on materials in contact with food, it should be ensured that economically valuable waste materials are progressively and effectively recovered through proper waste management and in line with the waste hierarchy. That way it should be ensured that valuable materials found in waste are returned into the European economy, thus making progress in the implementation of the Raw Materials Initiative15 and the creation of a circular economy. __________________ 15 COM(2013) 442.
