Member States can decide whether packaging additional to packaging formats listed in Article 9(1) and in point (a) of Article 9(2) should be compostable on their territories until 12 August 2026. Member States may only decide that such additional compostable packaging formats are industrially compostable. Member States should communicate any national rules mandating compostability for additional packaging items clearly to the economic operators and to the general public, as well as to the European Commission, to avoid any confusion. Member States are advised to compile explicit lists of such items and make them public to ensure that economic operators can comply with the related labelling and compostability requirements.
