10 Jun 2021 --- European Plastics Converters (EuPC) is bemoaning the nearly one year delay on the release of the EU’s Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) guidelines – which eventually published end of May 2021 – warning it has already resulted in “the first signs of scattered and unharmonized transposition scenarios” throughout the EU. The SUPD will take effect on July 3, banning popular throwaway plastic items like cutlery, plates, straws, beverage stirrers, and beverage cups and containers made of EPS.
