Comply with SUPDfrom single-use to sustainablefor a cleaner environment

The Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) is a regulation enacted by the European Union to combat plastic pollution and promote a circular economy. Effective from July 3, 2021, the directive targets the ten most commonly found single-use plastic items on European beaches, which constitute a significant portion of marine litter and pollution.

Key measures are to ban certain products like cutlery, plates, straws, sticks in plastics but also mandates for design changes, such as the requirement for beverage bottles to have tethered caps by 2024.

Traditional producer of packaging materials and coatings but also lots of new companies are constantly working on plastic-free (packaging) solutions, to fully eliminate any micro-plastics in take-away food materials. We are cooperating with innovate companies and actively aim to establish this new packaging generation - for a cleaner and healthier environment.
