Commission’s interpretation:

Article 9(1) is a material-neutral provision and could refer to permeable tea, coffee or other beverage bags, or soft after-use system single-serve units made of any material, including paper-based single-serve units. Therefore, pursuant to Article 9, such packaging must be designed for composting by 12 February 2028.
