Argiris Dabanlis, Technical Manager of EPBP, stated: “This liaison role is an important recognition of EPBP’s contribution to advancing PET bottle circularity in Europe. It is a great opportunity for EPBP to bring its extensive expertise to CEN’s discussions on packaging circularity and continue helping companies in the PET bottle industry to design PET bottles for recycling on the path to circularity.”
The recently adopted Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) requests the Commission to take the standards developed by European standardisation organisations into consideration when establishing the future design for recycling criteria, thereby highlighting the critical role to be played by CEN in supporting the process.
