RECYCLING magazine 02 / 2025
15 car manufacturers and the ACEA collectively have to pay around €458 million for participating in a long-lasting cartel.

A study has examined whether EPR can contribute to increasing the EU’s competitiveness and strategic autonomy. Even if environmental pollution is not the main focus of attention currently, the problem remains.
