Important articles in the revision for wooden packaging

- Specific recycling targets for wood packaging will be as follows: - By 2025: minimum of 25% - By 2030: minimum of 30%

- A Member State may take into account the amounts of wooden packaging that is repaired for reuse in the calculation (of the recycling percentage)

Implementing acts

- In order to ensure uniformed conditions (…), the Commission shall adopt by 31 March 2019 implementing acts establishing rules for the calculation, verification and reporting of data (also for repairing for reuse)
