π’ New EU update on recycled plastic intended for food contact
13 November 2025
The European Commission has published Regulation (EU) 2025/2269, a technical correction to Regulation (EU) 2022/1616, providing clearer guidance on labelling, authorisations and traceability for recycled plastics used in food-contact applications.
Whatβs new:
- clarifications on labelling requirements and documentation;
- more detailed rules on recycling processes and transfer of authorisations;
- improved consistency and readability of the regulatory framework for operators and authorities.
Why it matters:
Companies across the supply chain (recyclers, manufacturers, converters) should verify that their processes and labelling are aligned with the updated text to ensure compliance and full traceability.
