Packaging and packaging waste: Producer responsibility for take-back and disposal

The German Packaging Directive in 1991 was the first body of rules to define the producer’s obligations for the take-back and disposal of packaging waste. Today, not only the EU has legislation in place governing packaging and packaging waste issues, but also other regions worldwide.
