Recital 17

(17) Packaging should be designed, manufactured and commercialised in such a way as to allow for its re-use as many times as possible or for high-quality recycling, and to minimise its impact on the environment during its entire life-cycle and the life-cycle of the products for which it was designed. In order to achieve that objective, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) should be delegated to the Commission in respect of establishing a minimum number of rotations for reusable packaging for the packaging formats which are most frequently used in re-use.
