Kickoff Meeting of the Working Group on the PBB

The kickoff meeting of the Working Group tasked with defining the establishment and operational criteria of the Producer Balancing Body (PBB) took place on Thursday 18th January 2024. Representatives from various producer responsibility organizations (PROs) took part in this important event which marked the first in the series of sessions that will eventually define the operation model of the PPB to the benefit of all stakeholder involved in the EPR system.

The first meeting was marked by a very constructive and lively discussion; active input and interaction of all participating PRO representatives, who were also invited to provide their feedback on the relevant operational questions as a follow-up to the initial discussion.

This kickoff meeting will soon be followed by another meeting that will delve deeper into all the criteria relevant for the operation of the PBB, which is one of the main deliverables of the EU funded Twinning Project titled “Support in the implementation of the waste management legislation and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme.”
