The latest version of a draft bill to implement an EU directive (2019/904) regarding single-use plastics was announced on 20 October 2022. A prior version of the draft legislation was announced in July 2022.
The directive aims at reducing waste from single-use plastics in the environment by stimulating demand for recycled plastics through determining the minimum amount of recycled material in new products and introducing a fee on single-use plastic packaging.
