09 Dec 2022 --- The EU set new regulations on coffee capsules and plastic bags. Companies will be required to use as little packaging as possible, while countries will have to ensure that 65% of all packaging waste is recycled by the end of 2025. This legislation is part of the European Commission’s (EC) recent version of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive. It stipulates that certain plastic packaging, such as tea bags, coffee pods, very light plastic bags and sticky labels for fruit and vegetables, must be compostable.
