The new product packaging regulations introduced by the European Union officially came into effect on the 12th to reduce environmental and health risks caused by packaging waste. The EU hopes to reduce the total amount of waste packaging by 5% by 2030 compared to 2018, and 15% by 2040. To achieve this goal, the EU stipulates that from 2030, producers and importers must ensure the use of as few packaging as possible, and single-use plastic packaging for fresh agricultural products will be prohibited.
