Global ban plastics - European Union plastic ban - promotes the use of biodegradable plastics

The European Union issued a plastic restriction directive in 2015. The goal is that by the end of 2019, people in EU countries will consume no more than 90 plastic bags per person per year, and by 2025, this number will be reduced to 40. After the directive was issued, all member states have embarked on the "road of plastic restriction".

In 2018, the European Parliament passed a decree on controlling plastic waste. According to the decree, starting from 2021, the EU will completely ban member states from using 10 types of disposable plastic products such as drinking straws, tableware and cotton swabs. 

These products will be replaced by paper, straw or reusable hard plastics (made by Bio-degradable resins). Plastic bottles will be collected separately according to existing recycling models; member states are required to recycle 90% of single-use plastic bottles by 2025. At the same time, the bill also requires manufacturers to take more responsibility for the conditions of their plastic products and packaging.

After European Ban, Complete bio-degradable PLA based plastics will become a trend for producing Recyclable Bio-degradable plastics.
