Packages and packaging waste

We are drowning in packaging waste and this situation will only get worse if we don't take urgent action. The carbon- and material-intensive packaging sector relies heavily on a single-use model that it strongly defends, even though it is not at all sustainable. To turn this situation around, we must first focus on achieving an effective reduction in packaging waste. Unnecessary single-use packaging must be restricted, while well-designed and effective reuse systems must be put in place in key sectors across the EU. Packaging that cannot be avoided needs to be fully recyclable and, indeed, recycled. I voted in favor.
