L’Oréal has launched a new initiative that aims to explain to consumers in simple terms how to sort and recycle cosmetic packaging.
Aldi Hungary reports that consumers have returned around 140 million items of single-use packaging via in-store REpont machines, equating to a daily average of 3,000+ plastic, aluminium, and glass bottles per store.
Over fifty packaging associations warn that the Waste Framework Directive’s recognition of state-run producer responsibility organisations could lower recycling rates, increase administrative costs, and impact both product availability and PRO transparency.
