Afera, the European Adhesive Tape Association, welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the European Commissions proposal to revise the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive. Afera counts 120 members in 20 countries covering the complete value chain of the adhesive tape industry and representing more than 80% of the European tape volume produced. Afera is committed to enhancing the sustainability of the adhesive tape product category and to elevate circularity by ensuring recyclability, reusability and repairability of the products incorporating tapes. Adhesive tapes are broad category of products that have a myriad of applications in everyday life. The most recognizable application is the packaging tape, that is used to close millions of boxes shipped from, to, and within the EU on a daily basis. Beyond this, adhesive tapes are used in many other applications, some of them related to packaging but many not. We would like to provide feedback on the following aspects of the proposal in the attached document.
