The Council presidency and European Parliament (EP) representatives reached a provisional agreement on the targeted revision of the waste framework directive, setting EU targets for food waste reduction by 2030 and measures aiming for a low-waste textile sector. Packaging companies have been developing shelf life extending solutions to cut food waste as a result of incoming legislation and consumer demands for environmentally sustainable solutions. The agreement is yet to be confirmed by the Council and the EP before going through the formal adoption procedure.
