Gunda Rachut, Chair of Germany’s Central Packaging Registry (ZSVR), explains why the “new” Packaging Act is not really all that new. There should be no real surprises. In this interview she tells us why.
Where do we currently stand in terms of putting the new Packaging Act into practice?
Gunda Rachut: We’re very happy right now, with more than 160,000 entries in the LUCID packaging register so far. That’s almost three times the number of companies that had a contract under the dual system scheme in 2017. The number of registrations is still rising. The target is to have about 510,340 qyizjtbqfu khczeqwyi az eji qph nc 8269.
