COMPOSTABLE PACKAGING

Conditions to be considered when mandating the use of compostable packaging format:

(a) it could not have been designed as reusable packaging or the products could not be placed on the market without packaging;

(b) it is designed to enter the organic waste stream at the end of its life;

(c) it is of biodegradable nature allowing the packaging to undergo physical, chemical, thermal or biological decomposition, including anaerobic digestion, resulting ultimately in conversion into carbon dioxide or methane, in the absence of oxygen, mineral salts, biomass and water,

(d) its use significantly increases the collection of organic waste compared to the use of non-compostable packaging materials;

(e) its use significantly reduces the contamination of compost with non-compostable packaging; and

(f) its use does not increase the contamination of non-compostable packaging waste streams.

ANNEX IV

METHODOLOGY FOR PACKAGING MINIMISATION ASSESSMENT

PART I

Performance criteria

  • 1. 
    Product protection: packaging design shall ensure the product protection from the point of packaging or filling until the end use, with a view to prevent significant product damage, loss, deterioration or waste. Requirements may consist of protection against mechanical or chemical damage, vibration, compression, humidity, light, oxygen, microbiological infection, pest, deterioration of organoleptic properties etc. and include references to specific legislation setting out requirements on product quality.
  • 2. 
    Packaging manufacturing processes: The packaging design shall be compatible with the packaging manufacturing and filling processes.
  • 3. 
    Logistics: The packaging design shall ensure adequate and safe distribution, transport, handling and warehousing of the packaged product.
  • 4. 
    Information requirements: The packaging design shall ensure that any necessary information regarding the packaged product itself, its use, storage and care, including safety instructions can be provided to users and consumers.
  • 5. 
    Hygiene and safety: the packaging design shall ensure user and consumer safety as well as product safety and hygiene throughout the distribution, end use and disposal.
  • 6. 
    Legal requirements: the packaging design shall ensure that the packaging and packaged product can comply with the applicable legislation.
  • 7. 
    Recycled content, recyclability and re-use: The packaging design shall ensure recyclability and inclusion of recycled content as required under this Regulation. If the packaging is intended for re-use, it shall fulfil the requirements laid down in Article 10(1) of this Regulation.

    PART II

    Assessment methodology and determination of the minimum packaging volume and weight

The assessment of the minimum packaging volume and weight necessary to ensure the packaging functionality as described in Article 3(1) of the Regulation shall be explained in the technical documentation and shall include at least:

(a) for each performance criterion as listed in Part I, a list of design requirements which prevent further reduction of the packaging weight or volume without endangering the packaging functionality, including safety and hygiene, for the packaged product, packaging and user. The method used for the identification of these design requirements shall be described, and the reasons preventing further reduction of the packaging weight or volume shall be explained. All reduction opportunities with a given packaging material shall be investigated. It shall not be sufficient to substitute one packaging material with another;

(b) the description of the outcome of the assessment, including the details of the calculation of the minimum necessary weight and volume for the packaging. Possible variations between production batches for a same packaging shall be taken into account and documented;

(c) any test results, market research or studies that have been used for the assessment conducted under points (a) and (b).
