The EU has introduced new packaging regulations with an important goal:

„Reducing packaging waste and making producers responsible for the waste they create.“

This is an idea we truly support, but the regulations are designed in a way that makes the administration extremely difficult for small businesses to handle.

IF THE REGULATION CONTINUES, MOST SMALL BUSINESSES WILL STOP SELLING!

For a micro-business, the administrative costs can quickly become much greater than the value of the products we actually sell in that country.

The people with the most power to prevent the regulation are Members of the European Parliament (MEPs).

You can find your MEPs using the official European Parliament directory:
