EU releases revised plastic regulations (EU) 2025/2240
Time：
2025-11-12
The European Union has released revised plastic regulations (EU) 2025/2240. Plastic materials and items containing salicylic acid or untreated wood powder/fiber can be put on the market for the first time between February 1, 2025 and January 31, 2026. If EFSA verifies the application before January 31, 2026, they can continue to be put on the market after that date.
On November 6, 2025, the European Commission issued Regulation (EU) 2025/2240 to revise Regulation (EU) 202311442. The new regulations will apply from February 1, 2025.
In July 2023, the European Commission issued Plastic Amendment (EU) 2023/1442, which revised Appendix L of EU Plastic Regulation (EU) No. 1012011 and revoked the authorization for untreated wood powder/fiber (FCMNO. 96) and salicylic acid (FCM NO. 121).
Transitional measures allow products that were put on the market before February 1, 2025 to continue selling until inventory is depleted. If an application is submitted and verified by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), new products are allowed to continue selling. During this period, EFSA validated salicylic acid, but did not validate wood powder/fiber due to delays in the new guidelines and lack of data.
To address this issue, the European Union has issued Regulation (EU) 202512240 to revise Regulation (EU) 2023/1442.
The key to this update is that plastic materials and items containing salicylic acid or untreated wood powder/fiber can be put on the market for the first time between February 1, 2025 and January 31, 2026, provided that the corresponding conditions are met. If EFSA verifies the application before January 31, 2026, it can continue to be put on the market after that date.
