Article 7(5) establishes specific exemptions from the recycled content obligation. The exemption established in Article 7(5)(a) refers to plastic packaging that is intended to come into contact with food where the quantity of recycled content poses a threat to human health and results in non-compliance of packaged products with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 (20). The exemption established in Article 7(5)(b) relates to plastic parts representing less than 5 % of the total weight of the packaging unit. The notion of ‘plastic parts’ should be interpreted in line with the definition of composite packaging in Article 3(1), point 24 of the PPWR.
