Are there any automatic RED outcomes?

Some packaging and components of packaging will count as a RED and therefore do not appear within the tool.

Items of packaging or components must be classified as RED if they contain any of the following:

• Integrated electrical components or batteries that would be classed as Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) – for example, boxes that include LED lights.  
• Any of the substances of very high concern (SVHC) under UK REACH included in the packaging contents. 
• Inks that are not manufactured in compliance with the EuPIA Exclusion Policy for Printing Inks and Related products. 
• Perfluoroalkyl and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) where they have been intentionally added. This does not apply to packaging with the predominant material of aluminium, steel or glass. 
• Any household packaging within scope of the RAM requirement which has not been assessed or where the detail required to undertake an assessment isn’t available.
