EU to ban the use of some plastic packaging from 2030

On March 4, according to the China Printing and Packaging Network, the European Union said that it would ban the use of some single-use plastic packaging for sugar and more from 2030, reducing packaging waste by at least 15% by 2040 compared with 2018, while significantly increasing the number of recyclable packaging. Driven by the policy, the market demand for disposable packaging in Europe will be reduced, while it will further accelerate the development and application of bamboo, wood and other environmentally friendly packaging and related packaging machinery.
