CE 94 / 62 / EC mandatory requirements for packaging materials

definition:

According to Article 3 of the EU packaging materials directive (94 / 62 / EC), "packaging" means "all consumptive resources used to contain, protect, handle, transport and present goods, covering raw materials, manufacturing processes, from producers to consumers".

Purpose:

The main reason for the management / control of packaging materials is that the packaging materials are often discarded by consumers after use, and then into the environmental soil. The hazardous substances contained in them will directly cause harm to the environment.
