The Hong Kong 2025 Sustainable Packaging Ordinance has been officially implemented

The Environmental Protection Department of Hong Kong has fully implemented the newly revised Sustainable Packaging Ordinance starting today. The key points include: All export wooden crates are required to use laser-engraved IPPC numbers (font height ≥5mm). Palleboard products need to be marked with carbon footprint labels (in accordance with ISO 14067 standard). Establish a "Green Packaging Innovation Fund" of HK $2 million. Enterprise response cases: A medical device exporter in Yuen Long successfully increased the packaging recycling rate to 42% by switching to composite boards and was awarded the first "Star Green Supplier" certification by the Environmental Protection Department.
