India's Food Safety Body Issues r-PET Guidelines

India's food safety regulator, FSSAI, has set new rules for using recycled plastic (r-PET) in food packaging.

These rules make sure the recycled plastic is safe and comes from special cleaning processes.

Companies must now show a logo and the percentage of recycled plastic on their packaging.

This helps the environment by encouraging less waste.

The government wants companies to use more recycled plastic.

Some businesses worry that getting enough of the right kind of recycled plastic might be hard.

Overall, these rules aim to protect consumers and help India use plastic more responsibly.
