Objective and Goals

 

EUROPEN's Objective

EUROPEN aims to achieve a fully accessible European market for packaging used for packaged products, whereby best use is made of the role, benefits and functions of packaging in society, such as protection of products and the environment and supplying information to and meeting the needs of consumers and customers.

EUROPEN's Goals

  • To strive to influence European environmental legislation covering the marketing, sourcing, manufacture and distribution of packaging used for packaged products and the management of used packaging.  To support legislation that is transparent, effective and in proportion to the impacts of packaging and packaging waste and thus allows our members maximum scope to innovate, compete and operate in a resource efficient way.
  • To encourage our members to take their share of responsibility in minimizing the environmental impacts of packaging and packaging waste and be committed to contribute to supply chain resource efficiency as a crucial part of sustainable development.
  • To stimulate stakeholder dialogue and conduct a communication and lobby programme in support of these aims to serve our members and ensure recognition of their interests.
