1. Heavy metals. The combined concentration of lead, cadmium, mercury and hexavalent chromium in any packaging must not exceed 100 mg/kg. Inks and adhesives are part of that calculation.

3. Recyclability. Packaging placed on the EU market must be designed to be recyclable, and EPR registration is required in the country of sale.
