The French government has announced a ban on plastic packaging for most fruits and vegetables, effective next year. This decision is part of France’s broader strategy to reduce plastic waste and promote sustainable alternatives. Supermarkets and retailers will be required to use biodegradable or recyclable materials for fresh produce packaging. Environmental activists have praised the move, while some industry groups have raised concerns about higher costs. France’s initiative aligns with the European Union’s environmental goals and is expected to inspire similar measures in other countries.
