On August 6, 2026, the European Commission initiated a public consultation on a draft implementing regulation of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40, with the core objective of establishing harmonized registration formats and reporting requirements for producer registers.
On January 22, 2025, the European Union officially published the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (EU) 2025/40, also known as PPWR. This regulation will fully replace the existing Directive 94/62/EC on August 12, 2026, becoming the primary EU legislation for the management of packaging and packaging waste.
ECHA’s Committee for Risk Assessment (RAC) supports the proposal to restrict polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in clay targets for shooting. The proposed restriction introduces, a 0.005 % weight by weight concentration limit for the sum of 18 indicator PAHs since its implementation; and a 1 % concentration limit after a one-year transition. The restriction aims to prevent further environmental emissions of these toxic and very persistent substances that build up in humans and animals. Many PAHs are also known to cause cancer.
