The AGEC law, enacted to accelerate the transition to a circular economy, includes specific measures to phase out single-use plastic packaging by 2040. It imposes targets for reducing, reusing, recycling and limiting waste, with penalties for non-compliance. For companies, this means an obligation to rethink their packaging materials and favor more environmentally-friendly solutions.
