Europatat has joined other 120 European associations linked to the packaging supply chain in a common statement urging co-legislators to preserve in its entirety the internal market legal basis of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), as the best way to achieve the environmental and economic objectives of the proposal.
