BRUSSELS: New EU packaging regulations will come into force on Wednesday which set EU-wide limits on PFAS, or "forever chemicals", in food-contact packaging and set targets to cut the bloc's waste, especially of oil-derived plastics.
The law revamps rules dating back to the 1990s to handle the sharp increase in packaging waste - up over 20% in the last decade - driven by online shopping and "grab and go" consumption habits.
