11 May 2022 --- The Chinese government is imposing tighter packaging restrictions ahead of the country’s annual festivals. The new legislation will see a set of complex guidelines imposed last year for most F&B packaging extended to include festive snacks like mooncakes and rice dumplings. In November 2021, the Chinese government’s State Administration for Market Regulation introduced legislation to cut down on empty space and needless material usage in consumer packaging, thereby reducing the industry’s environmental footprint.
