additional information on the packaging such as sorting etc. This QR code

a harmonised solution will be available to producers in Autumn 2025 if they
wish to use it on their packaging.
Labelling of waste receptacles for the
collection of packaging waste ARTICLE 13
Member States shall ensure that harmonised labels that enable the separate
collection of each material specific fraction of packaging waste that is
intended to be discarded in separate receptacles are affixed, printed or
engraved visibly, legibly and indelibly on all waste receptacles for collection
of packaging waste. A receptacle for packaging waste may bear more than
one label. This obligation does not apply to receptacles subject to deposit
and return systems.
Harmonised labels and specifications for the labelling requirements and
formats for the labelling of receptacles will be developed by the Commission
in cooperation with Member States.
