d1e1437-1-1__para__3

The objective of the labelling requirements provided for in Article 12(1) is to improve the sorting of packaging waste by consumers. Therefore, these requirements do not apply to the packaging of certain products, such as human or veterinary medicinal products, medical devices or in vitro diagnostic medical devices, that can only be used by professional end users in the course of their industrial or professional activities. The Regulation expressly excludes from this labelling obligation transport packaging, except for e-commerce packaging, and packaging that is subject to a deposit and return system. The specifications for the waste sorting labels will be established in an implementing act by 12. August 2026.
