New EU packaging legislation will require food delivery applications to provide customers with a reusable packaging option starting in 2028. This move aims to reduce packaging waste generated by the growing food delivery sector. The rules will apply to all food delivery apps operating within the European Union. This is a key component of broader EU efforts to promote a circular economy and reduce environmental impact. The legislation intends to shift away from single-use plastics and encourage more sustainable practices. Details regarding the implementation and specific types of reusable packaging are yet to be fully outlined, but the mandate signals a significant change for the industry. Environmental groups are praising the move as a step forward in tackling plastic pollution.
