Why it matters
The initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce retail packaging, following targets similar to the EU’s goal of reducing packaging by 10 percent per capita by 2035. The Ministry emphasized that upstream waste reduction is key to managing packaging waste as overall consumption rises.
