In December 2018 the European Parliament and the EU countries jointly agreed upon a directive to combat the ‘plastic soup’.

Many countries and cities around the world have implemented a ban on certain types of plastic products due to their negative impact on the environment. Single-use plastic drinking cups are banned by EU legislation as of the 1st of January 2023.

Some plastics can take hundreds of years to degrade and can cause harm to our environment and living conditions if not properly disposed of. The goal of bans is to reduce environmental waste. Besides the ban on plastics, some cities and countries ban the use of breakable or shattering glassware at occasions where people’s safety is at risk.
