Update on Microplastics Reporting

4 December 2025

Starting now, companies can report their annual microplastics releases to ECHA under the EU microplastics restriction. These reporting obligations apply to uses exempt from the EU-wide ban. First reports are due by 31 May 2026 and should include estimated emissions for the year 2025: https://echa.europa.eu/-/echa-ready-to-receive-reports-on-microplastics-emissions.

Reports need to be prepared in IUCLID format and submitted via REACH-IT.
