If a Member State wants to continue using the exemption from the re-use targets after 5 years, it needs to fulfil the waste prevention targets in years 2035 and 2040. The intention of the co-legislators, when allowing the possibility to renew the exemption, was to make certain that economic operators meet the targets on re-use and that Member States continue reducing the generation of packaging waste according to the reduction targets, as laid down for the years 2035 and 2040. If new data is available and new targets apply, those should be considered at the relevant time, otherwise the objectives of PPWR, particularly the reduction of packaging waste, could be compromised.
