The European Union is considering a ban on plastic packaging from outside the bloc, which could significantly impact plastic food-contact materials. The new packaging waste rules, opposed by companies like McDonald's, are under scrutiny by the EU Commission and could potentially penalize poorer countries exporting to the EU. The EU trade chief warns that these rules may backfire and lead to disputes, with member states set to finalize the deal soon.
