Fusion42 · 22 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

The EU's new Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) comes into force on 12 August 2026, harmonising packaging rules across the Single Market, including strict restrictions on PFAS in food-contact packaging to protect human health and the environment.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Other, and 5 sources have reported it between 4 Aug 2026 and 19 Aug 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must adjust your food packaging to meet the new EU PFAS limits immediately or lose market access. The packaging industry faces big changes that open the door to safer, circular materials and cut costs over time.
