This Regulation establishes requirements for the entire life-cycle of packaging as regards environmental sustainability and labelling. It sets rules for the minimum recycled content in plastic packaging, with minimum standards to be met by 2030 and 2040. The standards are formulated taking into account available recycling technologies, their economic and environmental performance, including the quality of the output, the availability of the waste, the energy needed and the emissions of greenhouse gases.
