Amendment 190 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 102
Recital 102
(102) It has been shown that well- functioning deposit and return systems ensure a very high collection rate, especially of beverage bottles and cans. In order to support the achievement of the separate collection target for single use plastic beverage bottles laid down in Directive (EU) 2019/904 and to further drive high collection rates of metal beverages containers, it is appropriate that Member States establish deposit and return systems, which take into account the needs of vulnerable groups, particularly disabled persons. Those systems will contribute to the increase of the supply of good quality secondary raw material suitable for closed loop recycling and reduce beverage containers litter.
Amendment 194 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 103
Recital 103
(103) Deposit and return systems should be obligatory for single use plastic beverage bottles and metal beverage containers. Member States might also decide to include other packaging in these systems, in particular single use glass bottles, and should ensure that deposit and return systems for single-use packaging formats, in particular for single use glass beverage bottles, are equally available for reusable packaging, where technically and economically feasible. They should consider establishing deposit and return systems also for reusable packaging. In such situations, a Member State should be allowed, while observing the general rules laid down in the Treaty and complying with the provisions set out in this Regulation, adopt provisions which go beyond the minimum requirements set out in this Regulation and that provide for inclusive approach towards disabled persons.
Amendment 197 #

Recital 106
Recital 106
(106) Member States and all the relevant stakeholders involved in the setting up of the deposit and return systems should strive for the maximum inter-operability of these systems and cooperate to ease the return of packaging by consumers, in particular in border areas where it is demonstrated that the lack of interoperability is causing lower return rates. Member States should, furthermore, strive for non-discriminatory approach, which allows vulnerable groups, particularly disabled persons, to actively contribute to high return rates.

Recital 13
(13) Packaging should be designed, manufactured and commercialised in such a way as to allow for its re-use orand high- quality recycling, and to minimise its impact on the environment during its entire life-cycle and the life cycle of products, for which it was designed.
Amendment 274 #

Article 4 – paragraph 5
Article 4 – paragraph 5
5. In addition to the labelling requirements laid down in Article 11, Member States may provide for further labelling requirements, for the purpose of identifying the extended producer responsibility scheme or a deposit and return system other than those referred to in Article 44(1) and for the purpose of providing necessary information to consumers or other end-users from vulnerable groups, particularly disabled persons.
Amendment 294 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 20
Recital 20
(20) Designing packaging with the objective of its recycling, once it becomes packaging waste, is one the most efficient measures to improve the packaging circularity and raise packaging recycling rates and the use of recycled content in packaging. Packaging design for recycling criteria have been established for a number of packaging formats under voluntary industry schemes or by some Member States for the purpose of the modulation of extended producer responsibility fees. In order to prevent barriers to the internal market and provide industry with a level playing field, and with the objective to promote the sustainability of packaging, it is important to set mandatory requirements regarding the recyclability and reusability of packaging, by harmonising the criteria and the methodology for assessing packaging recyclability and reusability based on a design for recycling and reusability methodology at the Union level. In order to meet the objective set out in the CEAP that, by 2030, all packaging should be recyclable orand reusable, in an economically viable manner, packaging recyclability performance grades should be established based on design for recycling criteria for packaging categories as listed in Annex II. However, packaging should comply with them only as of 1 January 2030 in order to give sufficient time to the economic operators to adapt.
Amendment 360 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 33 a (new)
Recital 33 a (new)
(33a) The Union packaging recycling market should be strengthened in order to improve the recycling rate, avoid landfill and ban the export of waste to third countries. The development of Union recycling capacities should happen in cooperation with the sector's actors and industries, and be based on a regulated value chain allowing for quality checks, quality assurance, certification, logistics and pricing.
Amendment 435 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 60
Recital 60
(60) The problem of excessive packaging waste generation cannot be fully addressed by setting obligations on packaging design. For certain packaging types, obligations to reduce the empty space should be set on economic operators in terms of reducing the empty space when using such packaging. In case of grouped, transport and e-commerce packaging used for supply of products to final distributors or end user, the empty space ration should not exceed 40 30%. In line with the waste hierarchy, it should be possible for economic operators using sales packaging as e-commerce packaging to be exempted from this obligation.

Where this is not possible or not warranted on account of the nature and size of the packaging, they shall be affixed to the grouped packaging.

(73) In view of the results of the evaluation study on plastic carrier bags62, further measures need to be taken to reduce the consumption of lightweight plastic and papercarrier bags and assess possible substitution effects with very lightweight plastic carrier bags and thicker plastic carrier bags above 50 microns. _________________ 62 Scoping study to assess the feasibility of further EU measures on waste prevention and implementation of the Plastic Bags Directive.

Amendment 485 #
(82) Manufacturers should draw up an EU declaration of conformity to provide information on the conformity of packaging with this Regulation. Manufacturers may also be required by other Union legislation to draw up an EU declaration of conformity. To ensure effective access to information for market surveillance purposes, a single EU declaration of conformity should be drawn up in respect of all Union acts. To reduce the administrative burden on economic operators, it should be possible for that single EU declaration of conformity to be a dossier made up of relevant individual declarations of conformity. The responsibility of compliance with the provisions for the declaration of conformity should lie with the economic operator that places the packaging on the market.

Recital 92
Recital 92
(92) Member States may achieve these targets by economic instruments and other measures to provide incentives for the application of the waste hierarchy, including measures to be implemented through extended producer responsibility schemes such as the creation of a specific fund within producer responsibility organisations or deposit return schemes dedicated to reuse, and by promoting the setting up and effective operation of systems for re- use and encouraging economic operators to offer the end users further possibilities to refill. Such measures should be adopted in parallel and in addition to other measures under this Regulation aiming at packaging and packaging waste reduction, such as requirements on packaging minimisation, re-use and refill targets, volume thresholds and measures to achieve the sustained reduction of consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags. A Member State may, while observing the general rules laid down in the Treaty and complying with the provisions set out in this Regulation, adopt provisions which go beyond the minimum targets set out in this Regulation.

In such situations, a Member State should be allowed, while observing the general rules laid down in the Treaty and complying with the provisions set out in this Regulation, adopt provisions which go beyond the minimum requirements set out in this Regulation. In addition, Member States should mandate producers to use standardised (single-use and reusable) packaging formats to ensure total interoperability between deposit and return systems schemes.
