On 15 September 2022, the European Commission (EC) adopted a Regulation titled Document C(2022)6146 (not yet published in the official journal of the European Union), establishing rules for plastic materials originating from waste that are intended for market placement<\/a>, the development of recycling technology for such use, and how to recycle plastics that contacted foods. <\/p>\n

This Commission\u2019s Regulation is based on EU Regulation 1935\/2004 on materials and articles intended to have contact with food, also called the \u201cfood contact\u201d regulation. <\/p>\n

This new Commission Regulation aims to replace former EC Regulation 282\/2008 with new rules covering all existing and future plastic recycling technologies. <\/p>\n

The regulation thus declares recycling technology acceptable if it is (i) microbiologically safe and (ii) capable of being recycled into plastic materials and articles. It also establishes the following measures: <\/p>\n

1) it requires plastic technologies to be distinguished by type, physical and chemical makeup, and intended use. <\/p>\n

2) it requires constructing locations and recycling processes for market placement. <\/p>\n

3) it sets documentation and labeling conditions, such as the requirement to visibly display the registry number, the weight of recycled content, and the maximum weight of acceptable recycled content. <\/p>\n

4) it issues requirements for collection from food business waste and pre-processing methods. <\/p>\n

5) it requires decontamination installations being one facility that corresponds to the recycling processes applied. <\/p>\n

6) it states that food business operators are responsible for communicating new recycling instructions to customers or other operators. <\/p>\n

7) it establishes a required15-day notice to the local authority about any recycling schemes and conditions and for the project managers to monitor. <\/p>\n

8) it requires decontamination installations to monitor average contamination levels using robust sampling strategies of plastic before and after the process. <\/p>\n

9) it gives authority to the Commission to assess novel decontamination technologies when sufficient data is collected or to re-asses the conditions of market-acceptable plastics.<\/p>\n
