Noi norme privind ambalajele şi deşeurile de ambalaje intră în vigoare în UE. Limite stricte pentru așa-numitele „chimicale eterne”

New EU regulations on packaging and packaging waste will take effect on August 12, imposing strict limits on PFAS substances in food contact materials. The regulations aim to enhance consumer safety and environmental protection, with gradual implementation of additional rules by 2030. Each European generates about half a kilogram of packaging waste daily, prompting the need for these measures to address environmental challenges and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. The regulations are seen as a step towards a circular economy, replacing fragmented national rules and facilitating cross-border trade.
