Grace O'Sullivan — Article 40 – paragraph 3 – introductory part
An ever-increasing amount of products is sold online. It is important to ensure that producers offering products online are registered and pay EPR fees.
Grace O'Sullivan — Article 40 – paragraph 3 a (new)
Existing EPR schemes normally serve to fund collection, sorting and recycling of waste streams. However, they should also serve to facilitate reuse.
Grace O'Sullivan — Article 40 – paragraph 3 b (new)
The EPR systems should explicitly include provisions with regard to the littering of packaging in analogy to what is laid down for certain single use plastic products in Article 8 of Directive (EU) 2019/904 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment.
