Recital 56

(56) To disincentivise the destruction of unsold consumer products and to generate further data on the occurrence of this practice, this Regulation should introduce a transparency obligation for economic operators, with the exception of micro and small enterprises, requiring them to disclose information on the number and weight of unsold consumer products discarded per year at least on an easily accessible page of their website. Where applicable, they should also have the possibility of including that information in their management reports pursuant to Directive 2013/34/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (42). The obligation should start applying to medium-sized enterprises six years after the entry into force of this Regulation. The economic operator should indicate the product type or category, the reasons for discarding the products and their delivery for subsequent waste treatment operations, as well as measures taken and measures planned to prevent the destruction of unsold consumer products.
