Ahead of the plenary vote on the proposed Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), a large group of European and national associations across various sectors are expressing serious concerns regarding the approach to reuse adopted by the European Parliament’s Environment Committee (ENVI) on October 24.Many sectors recognize the good progress made on the draft PPWR in a number of areas which will help industry to achieve its circular ambitions. However, they are highly concerned with the amendments to Article 26 of the draft PPWR related to the reuse targets, which have been adopted by the ENVI committee, and in particular the following two elements:1.

I am looking forward to working with you guided by the close partnership between our countries — within NATO, the G7, and in the context of the EU-UK relationship which is more important than ever,” German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock beame...

A Baltimore paperboy sold newspapers on the cities and streetcars of Baltimore in 1914, likely for one or two cents each. Along the way, he collected baseball cards of Baltimore Orioles players included in that day’s paper.He treasured them — particularly one of George Herman Ruth, a 19-year-old pitcher for the minor league Orioles — for years, eventually passing them on to his son. That Ruth card is now one of only a handful still around. And soon, it will be auctioned for the first time since it was issued 109 years ago.It’s expected to fetch at least several million dollars and could potentially compete for the title of priciest baseball card ever, a record currently held by a Mickey Mantle rookie card sold for $12.6 million last year.Archibald Davis, the paperboy who was 16 years old at the time, grew up to play semiprofessional baseball and later passed the cards down.
