Recital 70

(70) There should be no multiplication of labels on packaging. In order to avoid this, where other Union legal acts require information on the packaged product to be available digitally through a data carrier, the information required under this Regulation for the packaging and for the packaged product under the other Union legal act should be accessible via the same data carrier. That data carrier should comply with the requirements under this Regulation or other applicable Union law. In particular, where the packaged product is covered by Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 or other Union law requiring a digital product passport, that digital product passport should also be used for providing the relevant information under this Regulation. Where packaging contains substances of concern, it should be marked using a standardised, open, digital-marking technology as established in implementing acts adopted by the Commission. That information should ensure that waste operators have access to relevant information on the chemical composition of the packaging to determine the most appropriate waste management option in line with the waste hierarchy, thus promoting packaging circularity.
