<\/span><\/h3>\nThe correction tightens the rules for labeling recycled plastic delivered to converters. The revised text now states that each container must bear a label showing the symbol defined in Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1935\/2004. The earlier wording lacked clarity <\/strong>on:<\/p>\n\n- Whether labeling applied to all<\/strong> containers<\/strong><\/li>\n
- How explicitly<\/strong> the symbol must be displayed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/strong><\/h3>\n <\/p>\n
<\/span>Clarifying Who Publishes Technology Reports<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nArticle 10, covering the development of novel technologies, now makes clear that:<\/p>\n
\n- The developer, and not the recycler,<\/strong> must publish the detailed initial report on its website<\/li>\n
- The report must cover safety information<\/strong> listed under paragraph 3<\/li>\n
- The URL<\/strong> provided under paragraph 2 must be used<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
This correction is important since developers and recyclers are often separate organizations.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/span>Fixing Requirements for Authorization Transfers<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nRegulation (EU) 2025\/2269 also refines the procedure for transferring an authorization for a recycling process to a third party<\/strong>. The correction confirms that the \u201ccurrent authorization holder of the authorized process\u201d must<\/strong> notify<\/strong> the Commission before any transfer<\/strong>, and that the notice must include the third party\u2019s contact details, since the original text did not clearly specify which operator had this responsibility.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/span>Expanded Requirements for Placing Materials on the Market<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nUnder Article 4, the corrections adjust the list of requirements<\/strong> that must be met before recycled plastic materials and articles can be placed on the market. The updated regulation now refers to points 2 to 8<\/strong>, instead of 2 to 7. This ensures all intended conditions are captured.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/span>Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\nRegulation (EU) 2025\/2269 has entered into force on December 3, 2025, twenty days after publication in the Official Journal. Packaging and recycling industry stakeholders should review the updated text to ensure their processes, documentation and responsibilities match the clarified requirements. The corrections are narrow but meaningful, and they close gaps that previously made compliance more complicated than intended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
