The MAGNO project aims to promote the adoption of solutions reducing the impact of plastic food packaging pollution in ecosystems.
In order to achieve this, it is designing ecosystem digital twin software which enables innovative ideas to be tested and refined before being implemented in the real world.
360° Foodservice is the collaborative platform dedicated to promoting the sustainable service of food and beverages across Europe.
It encompasses the whole supply chain of the foodservice packaging sector, from manufacturers to end-of-life solution providers. It unites companies that provide reuse and/or single use solutions for safely serving food and beverages to millions of Europeans every day, regardless of the materials that are used.
Collection and recycling must be in place for single use items once they have done their job. Reusable items must be collected and sanitised before being used again, and recycled when they reach the end of their useful life.
Members work towards promoting the sustainable evolution of single use and reuse systems for serving food and drinks in Europe.
This workshop is a unique opportunity to have a direct influence on the policies that will transform the sustainability of the plastics, packaging and bio-waste value chain.
Take part in this collaborative process and promote the shift towards a more efficient and greener circular economy.

This report supports the implementation of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation within the framework of the European Green Deal and the Circular Economy Action Plan 2.0.
Prepared by the Joint Research Centre for the Directorate-General for Environment, it draws on contributions from external contractors, over 25 000 EU citizens and more than 250 expert stakeholders. The study addresses the fragmentation of waste-sorting labels across Member States, a key barrier to efficient recycling and the functioning of the internal market.
The technical proposal sets out a harmonised system of waste-sorting labels for packaging and receptacles across the EU, geared to removing market barriers while ensuring that consumers receive clear, consistent and actionable sorting instructions.
