In recent years, growing awareness around the extent and dangers of plastic pollution has paved the way for greater policy intervention. As Euronews reported last year, more than 100 countries have already either fully or partially banned single-use plastic bags. At the same time, many are also banning other types of disposable items, such as cutlery and drinks mixing sticks.
Given that packaging accounts for almost 40% of the total weight of plastic waste generated worldwide, its reduction and recycling is a priority in the fight against plastic pollution. In a 2022 Ipsos survey of more than 23,000 respondents, 70% of people surveyed in 34 countries around the world agreed that there should be international standards banning single-use plastics.
