8M
around 8 million tonnes of single-use packaging, which must be sorted, collected and then recycled or recovered;
10M
nearly 10 million tonnes of reusable packaging, designed to be used several times after collection, cleaning and refurbishment.
To limit the amount of single-use packaging placed on the market, including that used by businesses, by 2030.
To reduce the volume of professional packaging waste by at least 5 per cent by 2030 compared with 2010.
Limit the proportion of vacant space so that it does not exceed 50 % by 2030.
Design packaging so that its weight and volume are reduced to the minimum necessary to ensure its functionality, taking into account its shape and the materials from which it is made.
25 %

The recyclability target
To step up the recycling of packaging waste in order to meet the targets set by the European Union by 2030. Efforts are prioritised on materials that have not met the 2025 targets (plastics, aluminium and steel).
Producer Responsabily Organisations can draw on several measures to achieve these targets: introducing incentives for the incorporation of recycled materials, supporting sorting at source (particularly for plastic), improving the traceability of material flows, or encouraging reuse.
| Recycling rate | To date | 2030 |
|---|---|---|
| Paper and cardboard | 88% | 85% |
| Wood | 34% | 30% |
| Plastic | 26% | 55% |
| Steel | 51% | 80% |
| Aluminium | 34% | 60% |
