Racing against time to Transpose to Single-Use Plastics Directive

Across the globe, many countries are recognising the significant negative environmental and health impacts of single-use plastics and have enacted laws to tackle these items that are the biggest source of marine litter today.

Single-use plastics 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.

Europe is on the frontline on the fight against single use plastics litter and approved a pioneering piece of legislation that aims to curb these products from entering the market and subsequently the natural environment.

Most member states have developed and approved their own legislation efforts to assure the to-be-banned products are restricted from the market by July 3rd, 2021.
