The objectives of the workshop were twofold. On the one hand, it aimed at presenting the key issues SMEs involved in packaging waste management faced when they try to become more resource efficient. On the other hand, it looked at the system of waste management as a whole, taking into account economic feasibility, technical viability, market drivers and the current and upcoming EU and Polish regulatory framework. 54 participants attended to the workshop. The audience was mainly composed of companies dealing with collection, sorting and processing of packaging waste, technology providers and branch organisations.
