The EU has introduced new plastic packaging and waste rules that limit polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in food packaging and ban single-use plastics for certain fruits and veggies. The regulations (EU 2025/40, Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR)) will start transitioning in phases, beginning on August 12, 2026. All EU Member States must strictly follow the regulation.
This regulation sets strict limits on PFAS in food packaging and reduces single-use plastic in fresh produce and food services, pushing for more recyclable and reusable solutions. | “EU’s new regulations are a game-changer, forcing brands to rethink packaging. With the tight deadline for compliance, it will make packaging innovation a key priority for 2025.” |
