Story summary
  • The EU introduced the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, banning high PFAS in food-contact packaging from 12 August 2026.
  • The rule forces small businesses and online traders to register packaging in each member state at about €300 per country per year, prompting many to pause deliveries.
  • A Change.org petition signed by over 45,000 people urged Brussels to halt the regulation’s impact on micro-businesses.
