While the Single-Use Plastic Directive (SUPD) has contributed to increased awareness of marine pollution, its implementation has generated disproportionate compliance and administrative costs for industry compared to the environmental benefits delivered.

Building on that initial input, we would like to take this opportunity to further complement our contribution through the present submission.
