Book Description
First published in 1999, this volume responds to the 1991 enactment by the German government of its Packaging Ordinance, which led to new or revised packaging legislation throughout the European Union. Problems caused by this divergent legislation led to the enactment of the Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste in late 1994. Unfortunately, the imprecision of the Directive necessary to ensure its enactment has led to further disputes. At the heart of these disputes is the classic struggle between the priorities of environmental protection and economic development. This book analyses the implementation of the Directive by Member States, and in particular, issues such as the imposition of quotas on reusable containers; the use of economic instruments and environmental agreements; and competition issues and state aids. The book enlightens readers to the current debates regarding packaging legislation which continue today, despite the enactment of EU legislation.

The European Union Directive on Packaging and Packaging Waste Management
Author: Philippe Latriche
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Packaging waste
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
This study examines the impact on Pacific Northwest seafood exporters of the European Union Directive on packaging and packaging waste management. The study of the official text of the proposed Directive was the starting point of our analysis. This allowed us to give a presentation of the EU Directive and to point out what factors would be important in order to assess how the Directive could affect firms and affect them differently whether they are located in the Pacific Northwest or the European Union. An economic model of trade between two countries based on excess supply and excess demand curves was used to represent how the implementation of the European Union Directive would affect the excess supply curve and therefore explain part of the potential impact on the level of exports. In order to assess with more precision the impact on the industry supply in both regions, a case study of seafood companies and packaging suppliers in the Pacific Northwest and the European Union was constructed using surveys at the primary data collection vehicle. From the information obtained from firms and using our economic model of trade between two countries, we showed that European Union firms currently have a modest advantage over Pacific Northwest firms in meeting the requirements of the EU Directive.

Regulation of Food Packaging in Europe and the USA
Author: Derek J Knight
Publisher: iSmithers Rapra Publishing
ISBN: 9781859574713
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 134
Book Description
Annotation A wide variety of plastics are used in food-contact applications and it is important that such plastics do not affect the food with which they come into contact. The objective of food packaging legislation is to protect the consumer by controlling the contamination of food by chemicals transferred from the packaging. Food packaging regulations are constantly under revision, and differ significantly between Europe and the USA. This report provides a clearly written summary of the current legislation surrounding the use of plastics in contact with food. It discusses the plastics used in food packaging, their characteristics and applications. This review is accompanied by around 400 abstracts from papers and books in the Rapra Polymer Library database.

Recycling and Extended Producer Responsibility
Author: Professor Rui Cunha Marques
Publisher: Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.
ISBN: 1472450817
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
An overriding value of European legislation on waste management is the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) principle. For example, all economic operators placing packaging onto the EU market are responsible for its proper management and recovery. However, in general, the collection and treatment of urban waste is the responsibility of local authorities. It has therefore been necessary to establish a system of financial compensations between producers and waste management operators. Analysing the legal and institutional schemes of several member states and accounting for all the costs and benefits to their local authorities due to selective collection and sorting, this book provides an accurate illustration of how the EPR principle has been translated into practice.

Effectiveness of Packaging Waste Management Systems in Selected Countries
Author: European Environment Agency
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 98
Book Description
Packaging waste is an important and growing waste stream. The amended Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive has recently been adopted, and work is underway to develop EU thematic strategies on waste prevention and recycling and on the sustainable use and management of natural resources. The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (hereafter: packaging directive) is one of the few environmentally-related directives to contain directly measurable, quantitative targets. It has now been in place for ten years and this is an opportune time to take stock of this important policy area. The EEA has conducted a pilot study of the effectiveness of packaging waste management systems in five EU Member States with the aim of gaining practical and concrete experience of ex-post policy effectiveness evaluation, and to track progress in this policy area.

Policy on Packaging Waste in Europe

Pages : 132
Book Description
While the Packaging Waste Management System has been implemented by the European Union, however the Member States applied it in a different system of compliance. Recently the European Union stipulated a new initiative called Integrated Product Policy which based on the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility. This policy is still on establishment state and awaiting implementation. This research shows that Packaging Waste Management System can be adjusted effectively in Integrated Product Policy implementation by widening Packaging Waste Management System's position in the Integrated Product Policy building blocks.

Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1461535921
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
Concern about the harm that industrial activities may cause the environ ment, means that all are now being scrutinised to assess their impact. Packaging is no exception. It is now high on the political agenda, in terms of the environmental issues which are targeted for immediate attention in industrially developed countries and is often perceived as a wasteful drain on non-sustainable resources and an unnecessary indulgence on the part of affluent societies. This book seeks to understand and respond to the variety of pressures packaging now faces, and to review and correct the many misconceptions that exist in relation to its environmental impacts. It has been structured to address the topical and critical areas for attention; it identifies and explains what are seen to be the main issues and discusses the responses being made to them in different parts of the world. More specifically, this book is intended to: • clarify the facts and dispel many of the myths surrounding the environmental aspects of packaging • explain and emphasise packaging's essential role in the workings of human society • review legislative and regulatory developments, the trends and the extent to which they are converging • consider what constitutes environmentally responsible packaging manufacture • discuss and compare the relative environmental merits and differ ences between the various packaging materials and systems • address the requirements for identifying and controlling manufac turing impacts and the role of environmental auditing in this process
