Yesterday in Strasbourg, the EU Parliament adopted its mandate for the negotiations on the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), with which the EU intends to take action against the increasing volume of packaging waste. After the highly controversial positions of the committees and political groups involved became clear once again in yesterday’s debate, 426 MEPs voted in favor of the report yesterday, with 125 votes against and 74 abstentions. However, the report by Frédérique Ries (Renew) was significantly weakened by numerous amendments.
