Šādi preventīvi papildpasākumi var ietvert valsts programmas, ražotāja paplašinātās atbildības shēmās iestrādātus stimulus, lai mazinātu iepakojuma ietekmi uz vidi, vai līdzīgus pasākumus, kas pieņemti, vajadzības gadījumā apspriežoties ar uzņēmējiem un patērētāju un vides organizācijām, un kuru mērķis ir apkopot un izmantot daudzās iniciatīvas, kas attiecībā uz atkritumu rašanās novēršanu īstenotas dalībvalstīs.

Those measures may include the use of national reduction targets, maintaining or introducing economic instruments as well as marketing restrictions in derogation from Article 18, provided that these restrictions are proportionate and non-discriminatory.
