The Decision implements Directive (EU) 2019/904 setting targets for the separate collection for recycling of waste single-use plastic beverage bottles listed in Part F of the Annex to that Directive (‘waste single-use bottles’). Pursuant to Article 9(1) of Directive (EU) 2019/904, the target for 2025 is 77 % by weight of all such single-use bottles placed on the market, and the target for 2029 is 90 %.
