Policy on Packaging Waste in Europe - Integrating The Packaging Waste Management System into Integrated Product Policy Implementation

While the Packaging Waste Management System has been implemented by the European Union, however the Member States applied it in a different system of compliance. Recently the European Union stipulated a new initiative called Integrated Product Policy which based on the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility. This policy is still on establishment state and awaiting implementation. This research shows that Packaging Waste Management System can be adjusted effectively in Integrated Product Policy implementation by widening Packaging Waste Management System's position in the Integrated Product Policy building blocks.
