The European Commission released new carbon accounting regulations for household metal goods in July. All imported kitchen, bathroom, study storage racks and rolling trolleys must provide carbon footprint documents for raw materials and low-VOC coating test reports, restricting heavy metals and inferior recycled metal materials.
Amazon Europe and large offline home furnishing retailers only display fully compliant eco-friendly storage products, while uncertified items will be delisted and restricted from traffic. European local brands require a 2.5-month certification cycle, so Chinese manufacturers with complete REACH and low-carbon coating certificates receive surging orders. Buyers prioritize eco-friendly kitchen & bathroom racks and student storage shelves made of recyclable stainless steel with non-toxic spray coatings.
