d1e1708-1-1__para__3

PPWR defines ‘composite packaging’ by introducing a 5 % threshold below which packaging is deemed to be a mono-material. Therefore, ‘single-use plastic packaging’ in Annex V can only refer to packaging that contains more than 5 % plastic. However, the definition of ‘composite packaging’ is ‘without prejudice’ to the SUPD (see Article 3(1), point 24 and recital 13 of the PPWR). Consequently, composite packaging, including paper-based packaging containing 5 % or more plastic, is covered by the packaging bans in Article 25 and Annex V, points 1– 4 of the PPWR, while packaging containing not more than 5 % of plastic is not covered by this ban.
