The Single Use
Plastics Directive
The EU Single Use Plastics (SUP) Directive was proposed in May 2018 and approved in May 2019.
The aim is to prevent and tackle marine litter by, phasing out ‘unnecessary’ single-use plastics and
encouraging change to reusable systems.
The SUP Directive also covers single-use plastic items made from bio-based sources, such as PLA.
Phase One of the directive saw a small group of items including plastic straws and stirrers banned
earlier this year.
EU member states now have until July 2021 to decide how to put the entire directive into their
national laws.
At Zeus, our packaging experts can assist you and your customers with any confusion and help cut
through the legislation. As shown in this brochure, we already stock many products that are natural
and environmentally friendly alternatives.
