The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (P&PWD) requires manufacturers to take responsibility for recovering packaging waste. This article examines some of the challenges this presents. Product designers must now integrate environmental regulations into product and packaging design. This will entail handling the conflict between the differing requirements of the P&PWD and the Medical Device Directive, and marking products to indicate whether packaging is reusable or recyclable.
《包装及包装废弃物指令》（P&PWD）要求制造商对回收包装废弃物负责。本文探讨了由此带来的一些挑战。产品设计师现在必须将环境法规纳入产品和包装设计中。这将需要处理《包装及包装废弃物指令》和《医疗器械指令》不同要求之间的冲突，并对产品进行标记，以表明包装是否可重复使用或可回收。
