Packaging policy is an integral policy field of circular economy politics in a globalized world. International treaties deliver a common ground for regional and national legislation, which needs to be implemented according to the legislative agenda. The European Union aims to take over global leadership in this field and has hence articulated it’s strategy through the European Green Deal. Circular economy is set out to transform under this approach. As a part of the transformation process, European packaging law is a perpetually evolving policy field, including the revision and replacement of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD) by the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). Considering the pecularities and entanglements of packaging policy under the European Green Deal, the book gives a compact introduction to the cornerstones of European packaging policy and delivers a systematic overview over it’s important elements.
