flag California’s 2027 plastic food packaging ban risks food safety, prices, and waste, experts warn, while new plant-protein boxes show sustainable alternatives in Europe.

flag California’s proposed 2027 ban on plastic food packaging may harm food safety, raise prices, and increase waste, experts warn, as current plastic packaging helps preserve freshness and reduce spoilage. flag Industry leaders urge regulators to exempt food-safe, federally compliant packaging from recycling mandates, citing lower environmental impact than alternatives and risks of increased emissions and supply chain disruptions. flag Meanwhile, Xampla and Just Eat have launched plastic-free takeaway boxes in 10 European countries using a plant-protein coating that is heat-resistant, grease-proof, recyclable, and compostable, meeting EU sustainability standards and marking progress in sustainable food packaging innovation.
