The European directive SUP, Single Use Plastic, was born to ban plastic products and the like. With the aim of reducing the impacts of microplastics in the sea. But here we have become the occasion for the usual political theater. Which is obviously delaying its entry into force. And which, dramatically, is contributing to the progressive degradation of our beloved sea.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The European SUP Single Plastic Use directive<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
In June 2019, the EU Commission adopted the European SUP directive<\/strong>. SUP is the acronym for Single Use Plastic<\/strong>. The objective of this directive is to prevent and reduce the use of certain plastic products. The aim is to prevent these products from causing further damage to the environment, especially the marine environment. Banned from the directive are the famous single-use products such as the infamous cotton buds to clean the ears. But also cutlery, plates, glasses, cups, straws. And then again containers for food and drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n
