This one-day conference is organized every year by Emballages Magazines and hosted by Henri Saporta, the magazine's Editor-in-Chief. As a partner of the event, Léko organized the round table: "The eco-organization at the service of the packaging circular economy", with speakers from a representative panel of stakeholders in the household packaging value chain.

5% of packaging reused by 2023 and 10% by 2027! The new Decree of April 8, 2022 defines the minimum proportion of reused packaging to be placed on the market annually in France, defines reused packaging and specifies the producers concerned. The minimum proportions apply from January 1, 2023.

On February 9, 2023, the EPR inter-sector commission(CiFREP), made up of representatives of marketers, local authorities, consumer and environmental protection organizations, organizations representing the social economy, waste operators and public authorities, voted overwhelmingly (74%) in favor of extending Léko's authorization to manage the household packaging sector.

The Decree1, published on April 29, 2022, specifies the application of good consumer information, by producers and importers, on the qualities and environmental characteristics of waste-generating products.

The packaging sector is about to undergo a Europe-wide overhaul. As part of the Green Pact for Europe initiated in 2019, the European Commission presented a draft Packaging Regulation on December 1, 2022, repealing the former Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste.

Last October, Léko, in collaboration with Ulule, launched its first Call for Projects "Packaging, towards a responsible approach" to take up the challenge of reducing, reusing and recycling household packaging. The campaign runs until June 2023. The aim is to promote best practices and support the industry in developing new models. In addition to benefiting from crowdfunding campaigns orchestrated by Ulule, the ten most innovative projects are supported by Léko.

The beginnings of regulations on the proportion of reusable packaging to be placed on the market (Decree no. 2022-507),
From 2023, producers with sales of over €50 million in France will have to market at least 5% reusable packaging. In general, 2023 will be a decisive year for the launch of reuse projects, with the aim of achieving the 10% target by 2027 for all companies. From 2023 onwards, Léko will devote 5% of its contributions to this goal.

The aim of the deposit is simple: to reuse packaging rather than throw it away. Whether the deposit is accompanied by an additional sum to be paid when purchasing a product, which is recovered as soon as the packaging is returned to the store, or not, the aim is to wash the packaging before refilling it. Goodbye to single-use packaging!

Since the end of 2021, producers and brands of household products have been invited to change the sorting instructions on their packaging. Indeed, the "throw away" instructions are no longer appropriate in most of France. From now on, ALL household packaging must be sorted, either in the traditional "yellow bins", or in the glass bins.
