I'm not opposed to the intent behind the regulation(s) itself, but they are designed & implemented by people with increasingly questionable motives and lack of considerations, empathy and/or research who is actually being impacted by these rules. If the responsible people cannot even see or understand the problem nor have any interest in fixing it, then they're simply the wrong people to be in these positions of responsibility & power over millions of lives. So yes, unless we're managing to change this attitude, we will be royally fucked...
For the PPWR most people cannot fathom the decision making process used nor the lack of understanding the importance for differentiation and/or gradation when designing a regulation with such major burdens and the insistence to apply the same rules for people using a handful of kilograms of packaging per year (if at all) vs. tens/hundreds of tons per year. For there to be no minimum quota, graded costs or for some countries to not even wanting to debate this as a real issue is more than worrisome...
