The review of the Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUP Directive) should focus on improving the implementation of existing instruments rather than expanding the scope of the legislation. Priority should be given to revising the cost calculation guidelines, clarifying key definitions, maintaining the clear material scope limited to plastics and rejecting proposals for a general ban on cigarette filters.

Everything on this page comes from BVTE’s own submissions to the European Commission — we have added nothing and interpreted nothing. If something is wrong or out of date, email info@policyspeak.com and we will correct it. If you are an individual named in a record, our privacy policy sets out your rights to correction, objection and removal.
Quotes are verbatim from submissions published by the European Commission, trimmed to their opening passage and never summarized by a model. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
