The measures proposed by the Commission in its legislative proposals on waste, including the obligation for Member States to set up waste prevention programmes, and to improve the functioning of producer responsibility schemes as outlined, are undoubtedly an incentive to minimise packaging, including plastic packaging.
Ukrepi, ki jih Komisija predlaga v svojih zakonodajnih predlogih s področja odpadkov, vključno z obveznostjo, da države članice vzpostavijo programe za preprečevanje nastajanja odpadkov in da se izboljša delovanje shem odgovornosti proizvajalca, kot je navedeno v predlogih, so nedvomno spodbuda za čim večjo omejitev embalaže, tudi plastične embalaže.
