In the future, it will be allowed to sell candles and liquid laundry detergents for birthday cakes in bulk without repackaging.
The Ministry of Environment announced on the 19th that it will establish and notify guidelines on the 'sale of subdivided products subject to safety verification' on the 20th.
Simple bulk sales and gifts will be limited to commonly used items (formulations and purposes) that are less likely to pose hazards, such as candles for illumination and liquid laundry detergents and fabric softeners.
It is anticipated that the demand for plastic containers and packaging will decrease, and the burden on small businesses and the industry will be alleviated.
The establishment of these guidelines has resolved the issue of selling commonly used detergents in eco-friendly stores (zero-waste stores) being illegal.
The Ministry of Environment plans to prepare safety guidelines for each item to enhance safety during the sale of subdivided household chemical products allowed this time.
