REGULATION (EU) 2025/40 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 19 December 2024 on packaging and packaging waste, amending Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and Directive (EU) 2019/904, and repealing Directive 94/62/EC (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(119) Waste prevention is the most efficient way to improve resource efficiency and to reduce the environmental impact of waste. It is important therefore that economic operators take appropriate measures to reduce the generation of waste by eliminating excessive packaging and the use of certain packaging formats, by extending the life span of packaging, by re-designing products or sales strategies so that no or less packaging can be used, including bulk sales, and by shifting from single-use packaging to reusable packaging.
