New <strong>european environmental regulations<\/strong> change the way disposable containers are produced, used and disposed of. The goal is clear: to reduce waste, encourage recycling and promote sustainable materials. But which containers will actually remain <strong>allowed in 2025<\/strong>? And what changes for restaurants, bars and food companies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>New european regulations for a more sustainable packaging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the entry into force of the <strong>Regulation UE 2025\/40<\/strong> and the evolution of <strong>SUP (Single-Use Plastics) Directive<\/strong>, the European Union introduces stricter standards for all packaging, particularly food and takeaway packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main purpose of the new regulation are to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Reduce the amount of unnecessary and non-recyclable packaging;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Encourage the use of compostable and recycled materials;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limit traditional disposable plastic;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Promote efficient collection and recycling systems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, the packaging of the future must be <strong>functional, recyclable and traceable<\/strong>, guaranteeing a lower environmental impact throughout its life cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Which disposable containers will be allowed<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contrary to popular belief, <strong>disposable will not be banned completely<\/strong>, but regulated based on materials and recyclability. Containers will still be <strong>allowed<\/strong> in 2025:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Compostable and biodegradable<\/strong>, such as those made of cardboard kraft, PLA or CPLA (bioplastics of plant origin);<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Recycled or recyclable<\/strong>, such as PP (polypropylene) or R-PET (recycled PET) trays;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>With minimum percentages of recycled material<\/strong>, as established by the new EU standards (at least 10% for non-PET plastics and 25% for PET bottles);<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Without dangerous substances<\/strong> or additives not allowed (such as PFAS, currently subject to severe restrictions);<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Correctly labelled<\/strong>, according to Legislative Decree 116\/2020, with indication of materials and disposal instructions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, <strong>reusable solutions<\/strong> for in-house service and <strong>compostable takeaway packaging<\/strong> will be encouraged, especially in the Horeca sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What will no longer be admitted<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Containers will be progressively eliminated from the market:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Made of <strong>traditional non-recyclable plastic<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Made of <strong>expanded polyester (EPS)<\/strong>, like some models of trays and glasses;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Devoid of environmental information or not complying with labelling standards;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which do not respect the new minimum thresholds for recycled material.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This change directly involves restaurateurs, food producers and distributors, who will have to adapt by choosing certified suppliers and compliant materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>GoPack: sustainable and certified disposable solutions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>GoPack support companies in the transition towards a more sustainable future, offering <strong>disposable containers compliant with 2025 regulations<\/strong>, made of certified, recyclable and compostable materials.
