Open this file to track EU-wide targets next to national schemes. One row is one provision of the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (recycled content, recycling targets, recyclability grades).
The rows were read from 1 source document between October 1, 2026 and October 1, 2026. Where a source states an effective date, it falls between December 31, 2025 and January 1, 2030.
2 of the 4 rows are pending. A pending row stays in the file with an empty value and a stated reason, so you can see which figures are not yet published and filter them out before you compute.
| Status | Rows | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
verified | 2 | read from the primary source on retrieved_at |
pending | 2 | no value yet; see pending_reason |
proposed | 0 | a bill or draft, not law |
published | 0 | recorded from the publisher, no review status |
