Noile norme ale regulamentului privind ambalajele şi deşeurile de ambalaje se aplică din 12 august în Uniunea Europeană

The European Commission announced new packaging regulations effective from August 12, focusing on limiting harmful substances in food contact materials. These regulations aim to enhance consumer safety and environmental protection. Additional rules will gradually come into effect by 2030, addressing recycling and reuse targets. The Commission emphasizes collaboration with stakeholders for effective implementation and has provided guidelines to ensure uniform application across the EU. The new regulations are seen as a step towards a circular economy, reducing waste and dependency on fossil fuels.
