Circularity of bottles: Contributing to the EU Green Deal
Relisten to this EURACTIV Virtual Conference to find out what’s the best recipe for meeting circular economy and climate objectives and whether DRS are an efficient way to meet collection and recycling targets for EU natural mineral and spring water producers set in the EU’s Single Use Plastics Directive. Discussed questions included: - Can PET bottles be prevented from being downcycled? - What are the challenges in making Deposit Refund Systems effective? - Can a “right of first refusal mechanism” be delivered in the revision of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive? - Can beverage manufacturers be given back the same amount of recycled content that they bring on the market?
