Packaging, packaging waste and materials
The composition of food contact materials is very specifically regulated for some materials and not yet developed for others. For companies operating in this sector, this gap in regulatory development creates the need for specialised legal advice to determine which legal requirements apply to their products.
As regards packaging and packaging waste, the applicable legislation has a direct impact on the activity of food businesses. It imposes restrictions on the use of certain materials, and also establishes collection and management obligations through a system of extended responsibility.
