To ensure that plastic pellets are handled safely and responsibly at all stages of the plastic pellet supply chain, so that losses to the environment are prevented and the ambition of zero plastic pellet losses is achieved, it is necessary to establish requirements on the handling of plastic pellets along the entire supply chain, namely in production, including output from recycling, master batching, compounding, conversion, processing, distribution, transport, storage, packaging, and tank and container cleaning at cleaning stations. This Regulation should apply to all entities handling plastic pellets along the entire supply chain, irrespective of their end use.
