Slide 24: Mandatory eco-modulated EPR as of 2025
Mandatory eco-modulated EPR as of 2025 Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a financial contribution paid by brand owners for the packaging they put on the market to cover the net cost of collection, sorting, and recycling of packaging. Most EU countries already have an EPR system. For those th
Slide 25: Plastic Tax is not in scope for PPWR
Plastic Tax is not in scope for PPWR Plastic Tax is different than Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). It is a tax, and the funds do not necessarily go toward recycling systems. EU countries can, at their discretion, implement a plastic tax. Plastic Tax is NOT mandated in the PPWR. Currently the
