On 31 May 2021, the European Commission published the final version of Single-Use Plastics (SUP) Directive, banning all oxidized degradable plastics, with effect from 3 July 2021. In particular, the Directive explicitly prohibits all oxidized plastic products, whether they are single-use or not, and treats both biodegradable and non-biodegradable oxidized plastics equally.
According to SUP Directive, Biodegradable/bio-based plastics are also considered to be plastic. Currently, there are no widely agreed technical standards available to certify that a specific plastic product is properly biodegradable in the marine environment in a short timeframe and without causing harm to the environment. For environmental protection, “degradable” is in urgent need of real implementation. Plastic free, recyclable and green packaging is an inevitable trend for various industries in the future.
