The EU has adopted the most ambitious legislation against single-use plastics ever proposed. Members of the European Parliament voted to ban a range of single-use plastics such as straws, cotton buds, and cutlery. The legislation targets the top 10 single-use items that litter Europe’s beach or are found in the seas. On top of that, the new legislation aims to recycle 90 percent of plastic bottles by 2025.
The European Union will get rid of single-use plastic by 2021
