Objectives of the EUNR network

The EUNR's work focuses on PPWR implementation and enforcement, with the following specific objectives:

  • Establishing a common understanding of definitions for key terms and roles (e.g. producer, manufacturer, importer, packaging types) in accordance with the PPWR
  • Regularly exchanging information and experience on the implementation of PPWR, especially in the context of national registers and registration procedures
  • Developing and submitting proposals and recommendations to the European Commission, particularly on (delegated) legal acts, implementing acts or guidelines which may relate to registration or data reporting requirements
  • Promoting the harmonization of national implementation of the PPWR, insofar as this is legally permissible and appropriate
  • Developing proposals for the preservation and protection of national infrastructure, where this is more appropriate for reasons of quality and cost
  • Accompanying further legal acts for the further development of extended producer responsibility for packaging
  • Expert exchange on all enforcement issues relating to the implementation of extended producer responsibility for packaging

The objectives presented here are based on the Network’s Charter. Explore the full document below.
