On February 24, 2025, the EU published Regulation (EU) 2025/351, introducing stricter purity requirements for substances used in the production of plastic for food contact. The regulation strengthens the control of the entire manufacturing process and requires suppliers of reusable plastic articles to provide adequate information to users.
Materials compliant with Regulation (EU) 10/2011 before the new regulation takes effect may continue to be marketed until stocks are exhausted, provided they were placed on the market before September 16, 2026. The regulation will enter into force on March 16, 2025.
For more details, you can refer to Commission Regulation (EU) 2025/351.
