The European Directive on the impact of plastics on the environment is finally approved
06/25/2019
The European Council has adopted a directive which introduces new restrictions on certain single-use plastic products.
Single-use plastic products are made wholly or partly of plastic and are typically intended to be used just once or for a short period of time before they are thrown away. One of the main purposes of this directive is to reduce the amount of plastic waste which we create. Under the new rules, single-use plastic plates, cutlery, straws, balloon sticks and cotton buds will be banned by 2021. |
