Ban on disposable plastic tableware in Spain? / PS packaging targeted / Hotels eliminate single-use items

摘要

From 1 January 2020, the sale and trade of disposable plastic items such as tableware and straws could be banned in Spain. Draft legislation was presented to the government in April by the environment committee of the Spanish congress of deputies. Instead, plastic utensils made from at least 50% biodegradable materials would be allowed. From 2025, the bio-based plastics share is expected to go up to 60 %.
