EU’s Circular Economy Package in a nutshell
What is it?
• The Circular Economy Package is crucial starting point for a successful
transition to a circular economy, in which the value of products,
materials, and resources is maintained in the economy for as long as
possible.
Why is it relevant for packaging?
• It includes two important revised Directives, which must be implemented
by all European Member States by July 2020.
• the Waste Framework Directive (WFD)
• the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD)
What does it imply?
• The new legislation represents a fundamental paradigm shift in
packaging policy. The focus is no longer on renewables or resource
efficiency, but on achieving a circular economy. Just reducing the weight
of packaging is no longer considered packaging waste prevention.
• Instead, there is a push for packaging materials that are effectively
recycled.
• Mono-material packaging, like metal, is perfectly placed to meet the
new (3) requirements:

1 Real Recycling
Only packaging waste that is effectively
recycled can be reported as recycled.
This is a clear advantage for metal
packaging and a major challenge for multi-
and polymer material packaging. What is
now counted as recycling because it is
collected but not actually recycled, will no
longer count.
• Collection ≠ recycling
• Energy recovery from incineration ≠
Recycling

2 Increased recycling rates
• The recycling targets for 2025 and 2030 have been increased for all packaging
materials and need to be achieved by all Members States individually.
• Metal packaging is made to be recycled, again and again, and its secondary
raw materials market functions well.
• The metals value chain will continue to target higher recycling rates.

3 Design for Circularity
• Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fees will be modulated based on
real end-of-life costs to promote packaging that is easy to recycle.
• This will reshuffle costs among materials and should strongly favour metals as
they are simply separated from other waste. The infrastructure to do so is
already widely in place, whilst multi- and polymer materials will require
complex and new processes.
• Only packaging waste that is effectively recycled can be reported as
recycled.

Design for
circularity
A focus on plastics
The fundamental paradigm shift is further reinforced by the first-ever European wide
Strategy on Plastics to make the plastics industry circular, with all the costs and
operational challenges this will present throughout the supply chain.
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
• Circularity is not yet reflected in LCAs, as they are still based on old policies focusing
on resource efficiency only. Their boundaries exclude end-of-life considerations, and
for instance, do not take account of the negative impacts on land and sea life.
• Acknowledged stakeholders such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and the European
Environmental Bureau do not accept LCAs with these major limitations and have asked
for the environmental indicators to be updated.

SUMMARY
• The legislation encourages an entire re-think on the
use of packaging materials that are not recycled or
very difficult to recycle.
• Packaging strategies will need to be reassessed to
be acceptable for the market going forward.
• Mono-material packaging, like metal, is perfectly
placed to meet the new requirements.
• Metal packaging is easily separated from other waste
and the infrastructure to do so is already widely in
place.
• It is made to be recycled, again and again, and ist
secondary raw materials market functions well.
• The metals value chain will continue to target higher
recycling rates and be part of a true circular
economy.

Europe: Circular Economy approach
The metal packaging industry is the perfect example of a circular economy, with
metal recycling forever in a material-to-material loop.
When a metal product reaches the end of its useful life, the material is never lost.
Through recycling, its value is retained forever, making it available today and for future
generations.
