Directive 94/62/EC: Recycling of packaging waste
The reduction and recycling of packaging waste are the focus of the EU Directive 94/62/EC on Packaging and Packaging Waste. The current version prescribes several standards for the implementation of take-back, collection and recycling systems in the EU member states and defines higher recycling targets. In Germany the EU Directive is implemented by the “Verpackungsverordnung”.
