Summary
These include burger boxes, pastry paper and similar food packaging. Certain single-use plastic packaging for fresh fruit and vegetables, such as plastic nets, will be banned from 2030. Less empty space, more deposits: What consumers will face from 2030 However, the new regulation goes far beyond the ban on PFAS.
Furthermore, By 2030, packaging in the EU must in principle be recyclable and as compact as possible. The allowed empty space in boxes for online orders is limited to 50 percent – Filling material such as air cushion foil or Styrofoam chips also counts as empty space. However, stocks already in stockpiles may still be used up.
In addition, How passers-by react to the new EU rules and what they think of it, shows the video. The new EU Packaging Regulation stipulates limit values for these substances, which are set so low according to the Consumer Centre Baden-Württemberg that an intentional use of PFAS in packaging is virtually excluded.
