Response to Restrictions on bisphenol A (BPA) and other bisphenols in food contact materials

8 Mar 2024

Our main comments on the draft Regulation were included into the submission by Flexible Packaging Europe which we endorse in its entirety: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/13832-Food-safety-restrictions-on-bisphenol-A-BPA-and-other-bisphenols-in-food-contact-materials/F3457275_en In addition, we want to make the following comments: 1. Article 7 requires a DoC for materials and articles covered by this Regulation. The wording of Article 1 point 2, in using the phrasing specifically as regards (as opposed to, for example, containing the following substances), makes it unclear if the intention of Article 7 is to require a DoC for all FCM, or only for those that are containing BPA or other bisphenols or bisphenol derivatives. It would be preferable to clarify the wording in Article 7 in this regard. 2. With the exception of the provisions in Article 10 point 3 and point 4, the Article 10 is not explicitly clear on the deadlines for providing the DoC according to Article 7. Our interpretation is that existing final FCM that had already been placed on the market at least once before the entry into force, have until the end of the transition period to provide a DoC, while new final FCM that are for the first time placed on the market after the entry into force, have to be accompanied by a DoC at the moment they go onto the market. Any clarification of the wording in Article 10 to make this more explicitly clear, would be welcome. 3. To avoid difficulties of interpretation on what are intermediate or final FCM and what precisely it means to first place them on the market, we would be in favour of requiring that for all FCM substances, intermediate or final materials and articles at any stage of the supply chain, the deadline for providing a DoC clarifying the compliance status with this Regulation should be 9 months before the end of the applicable transition period. 4. As we understand it, Article 8 amending Regulation 1895/2005 would, in its current wording, apply from entry into force of the Regulation, in contradiction to Article 10 giving an 18- or 36-month transition period. The amendment of Regulation 1895/2005 should include reference to the transition periods laid down in Article 10, or alternatively Article 10 should delay the application of Article 8 until after the end of the transition periods. end.

Response to Review of the requirements for packaging and feasibility of measures to prevent packaging waste

9 Jul 2020

Amcor is a global leader in developing and producing high-quality, responsible packaging for a variety of food, beverage, pharmaceutical, medical-device, home- and personal-care and other products. We work with leading companies around the world to protect their products and the people who rely on them through a broad range of flexible packaging, containers, cartons, closures and services. Sustainability has always been one of the core values of Amcor and in January 2018 Amcor became the first global packaging company pledging to develop all its packaging to be recyclable or reusable by 2025. We therefor subscribe the ambition of the European Union to make a transition to a truly circular economy also when it concerns packaging and the review of Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive offers the opportunity to update the current regulations. Not only “the limited availability of stable quantities and high quality secondary materials.”, but also the legal limitations on materials that can be used in Food Contact Materials, Pharmaceutical or Medical Devices packaging form important obstacles to the creation of a strong market for secondary materials from recycled packaging. There is a need to “strive for full harmonisation of rules on packaging across the internal market to preserve its integrity and allow for a smooth free movement of packaging and packaged goods. Uncoordinated national measures to address sustainability aspects of packaging result in obstacles to the free movement of goods and hinder the development of markets for secondary raw materials.” Effective implementation of existing legislation and investments in infrastructure and innovation are key preconditions to the development of strong markets for secondary raw materials. Policy options cannot be focused solely on packaging design. Used packaging which is properly disposed, collected and recycled will become a resource, and save carbon emissions. We believe that next to the review of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive, also a comprehensive review of the Waste Shipment Directive, foreseen for 2021, will be very important to create a true internal market for secondary raw materials. As stated “Current essential requirements for packaging, dating back to 1994, do not provide the regulatory push for design changes for re-use and recyclability as they are not fully aligned with the waste hierarchy. The essential requirements also leave too much room to interpretation, in particular about what qualifies as recyclable”. One of the main challenges all economic operators in the value chain face is the lack of a uniform and clear EU definition of recyclability. If the European Union wants to secure a true internal market for secondary raw materials, it cannot let the assessment if a packaging material is recyclable or recycled depend on divergent national interpretations, based on local investments and availability of recycling infrastructure. Economic operators will only be able to invest in new technologies and recycling capacity at the necessary scale if they are not restricted in sourcing materials from the whole internal market. We therefor agree that “clearer and more harmonised rules on packaging will increase long-term planning certainty for packaging related investments and have a positive impact on the internal market and support a level playing field for packaging producers.” When reviewing the essential requirements and looking to reduce the complexity of packaging materials including the number of material and polymers used, the criteria set forward in the CEFLEX ‘Designing for a Circular Economy’ guidelines and supported by the whole value chain should be used. Packaging functionality should be protected and recognised and policy options should allow industry to innovate, while equally considering climate, packaging optimisation, and recycling objectives. Measures to increase recyclability cannot jeopardize product safety and integrity.
