COMMISSION NOTICE Guidance document for Regulation (EU) 2025/40 on packaging and packaging waste · European Union
Article 48(3) allows for a derogation from the separate collection requirements, if, first, such collection does not affect the capacity of packaging waste or fractions of packaging waste to be recycled and if, second, the resulting recycled material is of comparable quality as if it was separately collected. Even if such a derogation is used, the ban on incineration and landfilling still applies to the packaging waste collected by commingling streams of packaging waste.
