What are the plastics recyclers’ obligations under REACH?
Yes, all forms of recovery including mechanical processing, whenever they result in one or more substances as such, in a mixture, or in an article that have ceased to be waste, after one or more recovery steps are considered as a manufacturing process. Thus, plastics recyclers must comply with the REACH obligations of Manufacturers (for Substances and Mixtures) or Article Manufacturers if they make themselves an article directly out of the waste.
