Packaging Ordinance: BVE fears high bureaucratic burden

The Federation of German Food and Drink Industries (BVE) expects the planned EU packaging regulation to create a high level of bureaucracy for companies. However, the association’s fears that the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) could lead to disruptions in the established German reusable and disposable systems have been reduced, Deputy Managing Director Peter Feller told Table.Briefings. After difficult negotiations, the EU states agreed on a compromise solution for the EU packaging regulation on March 15.
