While the Regulation allows home-compostability for a limited number of plastic packaging items listed in Article 9(1), reflecting situations where Member States implement home-composting as one of the waste management options for bio-waste, the home-composting should only be considered in the context of specific local conditions and implemented under the supervision of the relevant authorities. Member States should communicate any national rules mandating home-compostability clearly to the economic operators and to the general public, as well as to the European Commission, to avoid any confusion. Member States are advised to compile explicit lists of such items and make them public to ensure that economic operators can comply with the related labelling and compostability requirements.
