Snippet:
As the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) moves closer to application, all attention is on the deadlines for its practical delivery. Few provisions illustrate this more clearly than Articles 32 and 33, which seek to expand reusable packaging and ‘bring your own’ (BYO) options for take-away food and beverages across the EU’s hotel, restaurant and cafés (HORECA) sector.
