Why it matters
This is law in force, not a proposal.
- It is Art. 49, in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. as of 2026-08-18
- The act gives its timing as: By 1 January 2029 (Art. 49). as of 2026-08-18
- It names one industry by name: Waste. as of 2026-08-18
- Compliance is checked by reporting to the Commission under Art. 56, continuous. as of 2026-08-18
What changes
All 27 Member States. This is the provision that links collection to the recycled-content duty on converters: without enough collected feedstock, Art. 7 cannot be met, and this makes that a Member State obligation rather than a market problem.
