EU passes ban on single-use plastics

  • 2019-03-15

In early 2018, the EU proposed a ban on single-use plastic products. On December 20, the European Commission approved the ban, which targets the 10 most common plastic products found on beaches and discarded fishing gear. The new ban is expected to bring both environmental and economic benefits, reducing CO2 emissions by 3.4 million tons and saving consumers €6.5 billion. The EU stated that 80% of marine debris is made of plastic, resulting in 90% of seabirds having plastic products in their stomachs. Frans Timmermans, First Vice-President of the European Commission in charge of Sustainability, expressed strong support for the Commission's decision, stating that the ban truly protects the environment and people. He added that the EU recognizes the seriousness of plastic waste and demonstrates great courage in addressing it, making the EU a global leader in solving the problem of marine plastic waste. Equally important, the resolution also promotes new circular business models and guides the economy towards sustainability. The ban, which adopts different measures for different product categories, is currently the strictest legislation. The interim resolution reached this week still requires formal approval from the European Parliament and the Council. Once approved, the new directive will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union and will be implemented by member states two years later.
