In a move aimed at improving safety standards, France will ban plastic containers between 30 and 250 liters for flammable liquids, beginning in 2026. Businesses still using these dangerous containers must act decisively.
The decision follows a series of catastrophic industrial accidents, most notably a chemical plant fire in Rouen in 2019, as well as subsequent incidents at German facilities. These events spotlighted the risks associated with using plastic containers for flammable substances, including their flammability, the potential for melting, and the risk of leaks.
