Abstract: Packaging waste management must be efficient and competitive to speed up the transition to a more sustainable economy, which better preserves the environment and public health. The study therefore analyses this historically monopolised sector. To boost competition in this area, it is crucial that regulation and authorities actively promote it. To this end, the study recommends the following. The first is to reduce entry barriers by streamlining authorizations and increasing flexibility for companies to switch PROs. Second, establish a procompetitive coordination framework between public and private agents, including detailed regulation, a supervisory and conflict resolution body, a standard agreement, a single agreement system and provide Public Administrations with sufficient resources. Third, promote transparency and enhance traceability and fraud detection. Fourth, prevent and address conflicts of interest related to the involvement of associations or waste managers in PROs. And fifth, to encourage competition in waste allocation.
