This term is primarily used in regulatory, environmental, and business compliance contexts. In Brazil, it is frequently encountered in discussions of packaging waste management (gestão de resíduos de embalagem) and compliance with ABNT standards. In Portugal and the EU, it relates to the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC) and producer responsibility schemes. The term reflects growing corporate interest in sustainability and regulatory relief for small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in both regions.
