The EU Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUP Directive) was approved on 5th June 2019 and aims to limit the impact of plastic in the environment. Single-use plastics are made wholly or partly of plastic and are typically intended to be used just once or for a short period of time before they are thrown away.
Despite a transposition deadline of 3rd July 2021, just one EU member state - Greece - has fully transposed the directive into its national regulatory framework.
Tobacco products, specifically their filters, are tackled by the SUP Directive, which highlights that they are the second most found single-use plastic item on beaches in the EU.
