De European single-use plastics Regulations focus on reducing plastic waste by limiting the use of single-use plastics. These rules apply not only to the hospitality industry, but also to offices, businesses, and (educational) institutions that use or offer plastic products.
To help organizations meet the requirements, the government stipulated fact sheets up. These contain practical information about banned products, reusable alternatives, and how internal processes can be adjusted. Think of rules for plastic cups, food packaging, and cutlery.
Since 2024, a ban on free single-use plastic for on-site consumption has been in effect. Businesses must switch to reusable materials or demonstrate that packaging is collected and recycled.
This fact sheets provide an overview for each sector and assist in planning sustainable replacement. This allows organizations to gain insight into exactly what is changing and what measures they can take now.
