In the latest packaging journal and interpack podcast, we talk to Stefan Munz, Head of Innovation and Sustainability at EKO POINT<\/a>. Read excerpts from the interview here.<\/b><\/div>

packaging journal:<\/strong> The final draft of the European Packaging Ordinance PPWR is here. Among other things, it provides for recycling quotas to be achieved by 2030 and 2040. Stop<\/strong><\/em>Do you think these goals are realistic?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>

Stefan Munz:<\/strong> The quotas are challenging. We know from current studies that in order to fulfil the quotas of the PPWR, the use of recyclates must quadruple. You first have to produce these quantities. And the recycling industry is finding this relatively difficult at the moment, as competition for primary materials is fierce, market prices are low and recyclates are currently very difficult to sell. This means that all those who produce recyclates actually have an issue at the moment, and for them this PPWR and, in Germany in particular, Section 21 of the Packaging Act must come much sooner.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
