Since 2021, the EU’s Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) has placed bans on certain single-use plastic items—such as plates, cups, cutlery, and food containers—to reduce environmental impacts.  Under the SUPD, any packaging made wholly or partly from plastic—even if compostable—may be considered under the ban unless meeting specific exemptions. However, the regulatory environment is evolving. The EU’s newly proposed Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) aims to replace current directives by 2030, with more ambitious requirements on recyclability, reuse, and bans on unnecessary packaging.
