European Union reaches a provisional deal to cut packaging waste, ban single-use plastics, and set targets for recyclable packaging by 2030.
The European Union has reached a provisional deal to cut packaging waste and ban single-use plastics, such as supermarket bags for fruit and mini hotel shampoo bottles, with some exemptions for certain sectors. The agreement sets a target to reduce packaging waste in the EU by 5% by 2030, 10% by 2035, and 15% by 2040. All packaging should be recyclable by 2030, and single-use plastic items like disposable plates, cups, and boxes used by fast-food restaurants will face a ban by then.
