Furthermore, the stringent regulations introduced by the government to reduce packaging waste and promote sustainability in packaging can support the growth of flexible packaging in China.
For instance, in September 2021, China’s State Administration for Market introduced Regulation GB 23350-2021 ‘Requirements of Restricting Excessive Package – Foods and Cosmetics’, an amendment to standards released in 2009, which mandates cosmetic and food companies to redesign their product packaging.
