Recital 50

(50)Food-contact materials containing recycled plastic have to meet the requirements set out in Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/1616 ²⁶ , which includes requirements on recycling technologies. Regarding plastic packaging, except where that packaging is made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), it is appropriate to re-assess the availability of suitable recycling technologies for such plastic packaging sufficiently ahead of the date of application of the related recycled content requirements. That assessment should also cover the state of authorisation under relevant Union rules and the installation in practice of such technology. Based on that assessment, there might be a need to provide for derogations from the recycled content requirements for specific contact-sensitive plastic packaging or to amend the list of exceptions laid down in this Regulation. To that end, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission.
