In line with sustainable development, a circular economy challenges the various actors connected to packaged products, in order to solve this scourge. The aim of this study is to analyze the attitudes and role of the stakeholders involved in packaging waste and to explain the processes of their reuse in order to identify the obstacles to this activity. The main results reveal two categories of circular economy practices: one carried out spontaneously with few actors (short loop) and the other organized under financial constraint with many actors because of the glaring lack of financial means and lack of activity support from the State authorities (long loop).}}
