WMW | Bioplastics: Italy makes compostable packaging mandatory for formats the EU will ban (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Italy has passed a law requiring compostable versions of several single-use plastic packaging formats that the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) will otherwise ban from 2030. The measure covers items from lightweight fresh produce packs to condiment sachets, and it will send more packaging into the country's food-waste bins and organics plants. Decree-Law No. 143 was published in the Gazzetta Ufficiale on 7 August 2026, entered into force the next day and applies from 1 Januar

The congress returns to the UK after 30 years under the motto ‘Create Legacy’. What's the legacy you most want it to leave behind? We'd like the congress to create a legacy that extends far beyond the week itself. The congress provides a unique opportunity to share and establish the international partnerships, strategies, best practice and commitments we need to take positive actions to best manage the 2 billion tonnes of waste generated globally. This is forecast to almost double by 2050, so we
WMW | Work Saftey: Zero blind spots: How AI vision cuts waste truck collisions (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Waste collection remains one of the most dangerous jobs globally. In the United States alone, the Department of Transportation recorded more than 1,400 waste truck accidents in 2022, over 100 of them fatal. For fleet managers, that statistic isn't abstract — it shows up as stressed drivers, blind-spot near-misses in tight alleys, and the kind of costly lawsuit that keeps leadership up at night. One nationwide U.S. waste fleet decided to do something about it. After averaging two serious, prevent

Can you describe how BIOREPACK is structured: who are the obligated producers, and how is the fee system designed to incentivise certified compostable packaging? BIOREPACK is the first EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) system established in Europe to manage the end-of-life of certified compostable bioplastic packaging compliant with the European standard EN 13432, which is collected through the municipal biowaste stream. The structure of BIOREPACK involves biopolymer producers, manufacturer
WMW | Bioplastics and composting: Joachim Quoden: "Italy is clearly the front runner" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Across the countries you monitor through EXPRA, how many EPR schemes currently have a defined operational pathway for compostable plastic packaging — and what does "operational" actually mean in practice? Across the countries monitored through EXPRA, there is currently only one fully developed and operational pathway, namely in Italy through Biorepack, the national consortium operating within the CONAI system. Biorepack is responsible for the end-of-life management of EN 13432-certified composta
