Introduction

We help manufacturers ensure their products meet EU regulations by assessing whether their products fall under the EU Single-Use Plastics Directive. We provide clear advice backed by science and regulatory insight. 

About the service

The EU Single-Use Plastics Directive (EU 2019/904) aims to cut down on plastic litter. But for many manufacturers, it is unclear whether their products are covered by this legislation. We help you avoid uncertainty by providing a clear classification. Our experts combine targeted literature reviews with analytical testing to assess your product against the directive and its guidelines. You will receive a concise advisory report that you can use to demonstrate compliance in discussions with regulators such as the Dutch Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate (ILT) and Verpact. This gives your business confidence to move forward without costly surprises.  

If it turns out your product does not pass the directive, we can help you adjust your product to make it compliant or develop new sustainable alternatives.
