Core content of regulations

 

The core content of this regulation is to adopt Regulation No. 2025/351 and its series of amendments passed by the European Commission in February 2025 as mandatory domestic law in Israel. This regulatory system mainly covers three aspects:

1. Fully update the fundamental regulations on plastic materials and products in contact with food (EU Regulation No. 10/2011);

2. Strengthen regulations specifically for recycled plastic materials and products (EU Regulation 2022/1616);

3. Abolish the old regulations (EU Regulation 282/2008).

 

Effective time of regulations

 

The official effective date of this regulatory update in Israel is December 30, 2025. This date is later than its original effective date in the European Union (March 14, 2025), aiming to reserve sufficient preparation time for related industries.

 

Transitional arrangement

 

To ensure a smooth transition in the market, the new regulations have set clear buffer clauses: allowing plastic materials and products that have been legally listed and sold before September 16, 2026 to continue to circulate until inventory is cleared. For specific intermediate products or raw materials that comply with the old regulations but do not comply with the new regulations and are launched after the new regulations come into effect, they must be accompanied by a declaration of conformity and limited to be used only for the production of final products launched before September 16, 2026.

 

It is recommended that domestic manufacturers, importers, and related enterprises immediately begin reviewing product compliance to ensure compliance with the technical and management requirements of the new regulations, and make good use of the transition period to complete adjustments.
