Regulation

Match responsibilities to the activity.

Aggregation, washing, recycled-product manufacturing and food-contact production raise different requirements. Activity, location and process will guide the project’s permission pathway.

Plastic Waste Management: the 2022 EPR framework

The extended producer responsibility framework informs questions about registrations, material records and eligible processing claims. It must be considered alongside later amendments and applicable procedures.

Plastic Waste Management: the 2026 amendments

The 2026 text reviewed for the project includes selected definition and marking provisions. Operating decisions require an activity-specific assessment of applicable requirements.

Food-contact recycled PET guidance

A food-contact product route has separate validation and authorisation requirements.

Keep commercial and compliance records distinct.

Physical material sales, regulatory processing records and any eligible compliance claims should be documented separately. Compliance-related revenue requires evidence of eligibility.
