Recently, the European Commission formally took France to the European Court of Justice (CJEU) because France's mandatory use of the Triman recycling logo on cosmetics packaging may have violated the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) on the free movement of goods between member states.

● If the product has specific recycling requirements,Explanatory text and classification information must also be added,Tell consumers how to handle packaging.

This means,Enterprises must design and print packaging labels specifically for the French market,Increased additional costs and compliance pressures
