The European Union, in its continuous efforts to combat environmental issues and promote sustainability, has introduced Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2023/2683. This legislation mandates significant increases in the recycled plastic content of single-use plastic beverage bottles, including PET bottles. Effective from 1st December 2023, this legislation represents a crucial step in the EU’s commitment to a more circular and eco-friendly economy.
The legislation sets clear targets for recycled plastic content in beverage bottles:
By 2025, PET bottles must contain at least 25% recycled plastic.
By 2030, all beverage bottles must have at least 30% recycled plastic.
DQS Malaysia is offering the new RecyClass Certification on the Recycled Plastic Content. With all three schemes Recyclability Certification, Recycling Process Certification and Recycled Plastic Traceability.
