• The European Commission is preparing three important acts for implementing PPWR requirements on recycled content in plastic packaging. • The upcoming rules will address the calculation and verification of recycled content, criteria applicable to recycling technologies and conditions for recycled materials originating outside the EU. • The Commission's consultation is open until 16 September 2026. • The Bulgarian Industrial Association (BIA) is calling on companies to provide real-world data on costs, recyclate availability, technological capabilities and administrative burden. • For producers, converters and recyclers, the secondary legislation will turn general PPWR requirements into concrete procedures for calculation, documentation, traceability and verification.
