Thai food exporters face tightening international regulations: the EU's PPWR (effective 2028) mandates compostable packaging labels for produce, while the US FDA's Food Traceability Rule requires rapid data retrieval on food movements. Four SPACE-F Batch 7 startups—Zuppar Reborn (pineapple-waste stickers), EmeraldPlast (bio-plastic pellets), VeriPura, and Squizify—are developing solutions for sustainable packaging and traceability systems. Preparing now is critical for SMEs planning European and US market access.
