Recital 65
(65) To incentivise waste prevention, a new concept of ‘refill’ should be introduced. Refill should be considered as a specific waste prevention measure that counts towards and is necessary for meeting of the re-use and refill targets. However, containers owned by the consumer, performing a packaging function in the context of refill, such as reusable cups, mugs, bottles or boxes are not packaging in the sense of this Regulation. Only refill happening via a system for refill shall count towards the reuse and refill targets. Such system for refill can for example be a system for refill found in the premises of an economic operator or a product dispenser for home consumption.
