FINAT Concerned About Negative Packaging List FINAT has expressed its concern on the plans of the European Commission to include a negative list of packaging characteristics as part of their revision of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive. In a statement shared with the services of the Commission taking part in the ongoing Inter-Ser- vice Consultation, FINAT pointed out that the list as presented in the draft legal text that appeared in the press is not based on the most up-to-date de- velopments on packaging materials and recycling. A negative list would work against further devel- opment of recycling technologies, and furthermore the foreseen process for its implementation would fail to provide regulatory certainty to the industry, which is one of the goals of the revision. Alternatively, FINAT proposes to emphasize the definition of criteria for Design for Recycling in a technology agnostic manner and involve a multi-stakeholder Expert Group in the development of Design for Recycling guidelines for the specific packaging materials.

Miraclon has announced a global price increase of 5 percent on all consumables, effective November 1st, 2022. The unprecedented inflation of the costs of raw material, utilities and labor, finance charges and business services felt by the industry globally have necessitated the increase to alleviate these rapidly increasing costs also experienced by Miraclon. “Securing supply for our customers and continu- ing development of innovative technology that can help them meet the demands of their clients while countering price pressures remain our top priorities,” commented Chris Payne, Miraclon CEO. “Unfortunately, price increases to alleviate rapidly increasing procurement and energy costs are be- coming a routine part of business for most compa- nies, with no sign of relief in the foreseeable future. We are doing everything we can to drive internal efficiencies that mitigate the effects on our custom- ers and are working with them to help pass these unavoidable increases on through the value chain.” For more information visit https://www.mira- clon.com/security-of-supply/ .
