SERRED

The European Association representing, defending and promoting the interests of Reconditioners of industrial packaging. We were founded in 1975, and continue to promote the safe, efficient and environmentally responsible collection, reconditioning and re-use of industrial packaging.

Aims:professionalise the reconditioning industry based on best practice; respect the waste hierarchy and promote a circular economy, by placing re-use before recycling and especially over one-way packaging; advise and help government authorities in relation to the re-use of industrial packaging, removing barriers and restrictions, and striving for incentives to ensure packaging re-use.

Serred focuses its public policy work on waste legislation. In particular, we are currently following and contributing to the reviews of the:
Waste Shipments Regulation (EC) No 1013/2006;
Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (EU) 2018/852;
and associated delegated or implementing acts pertaining to the design of packaging for re-use.

We believe that:
Industrial packaging intended for re-use should be exempt from being classified as waste;
Separate targets for re-use of industrial packaging should be set at EU or Member State level;
Industrial packaging should be encouraged to be designed for greater re-use.
Serred has participated in the Commission public consultation on the review of the Waste Shipments Regulation
