China Wants To Curb Excessive Overpackaging

China's State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) has outlined stricter rules to reduce the amount of waste produced by product packaging. Dubbed the “Requirements of Restricting Excessive Packaging, Foods, and Cosmetics,” the new law likely applies to practically every food and beauty product. The law outlines 31 categories of food and 16 for cosmetics, though they include an “other category” for each respective product class, leaving open the possibility that the new directive will get applied rather broadly.

中國希望遏製過度過度包裝。中國國家市場監督管理總局 (SAMR) 制定了更嚴格的規定，以減少產品包裝產生的廢物量。 被稱為“限製過度包裝、食品和化妝品的要求”的新法律可能適用於幾乎所有食品和美容產品。 該法律概述了 31 類食品和 16 類化妝品，儘管它們為每個相應的產品類別包括了一個“其他類別”，這使得新指令有可能得到相當廣泛的應用。
