12 Oct 2018 --- The Rethink Plastic alliance of NGOs is warning that packaging producers could simply market items such as throwaway plastic cups as reusable in order to avoid penalties under changes to draft EU laws on single-use plastics tabled recently in the European Parliament. The European Parliament’s environment committee voted on a proposal that would introduce new rules on plastics including bans on certain single-use plastic products responsible for marine pollution, and require European governments to set reduction targets for others.
