Does EmpCo also apply in B2B?

The new provisions address commercial practices towards consumers. In practice the rules reach deep into B2B relationships, because brand owners and retailers have to obtain evidence from their suppliers in order to communicate safely themselves. For suppliers, robust evidence therefore becomes a condition of staying listed.

For suppliers of raw materials and semi-finished goods, holding the evidence becomes a selling point. The flustix RECYCLED certification programme explicitly applies to every actor along the supply chain who takes ownership of the material, including recyclers and intermediaries with or without their own storage.
