Recycled plastic

The European Commission adopted Regulation (EU) 2022/1616 on recycled plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with foods, which came into effect on 10 October 2022.

In addition to the new regulation, recycled plastic also has to comply with Regulation 10/2011, as amended, on plastic materials and articles intended to come into contact with food. Therefore, the recycled plastics used in these articles are required to respect the same regulations on safety as newly manufactured plastic products.
