Key issue to understand
• Single use service packaging and
reusable/durable containers
• …have DIFFERENT ATTRIBUTES
• …have DIFFERENT USES
• …are NOT SUBSTITUTES
• Where appropriate, promote more re-use
• Where single use is indicated, ensure
collection and recycling

On-the-go consumption
• On-the-go “consumption” is on the rise
• News, information, entertainment,…
• Estimate on average in the EU:
– 20-25% of all food moments
– 30-35% of all drinking moments
• …occur on-the-go
• Increased litter risk
• But our systems are stuck in a time warp

people
create litter…

Sources of marine litter (i)
• 80% of marine litter starts on the land
• Multiple sources of “macro” plastics litter:
– Inadequate waste management
– Poor storm water management
– Litter blown from the land
– Litter washed down waterways
– Marine-based activities like fishing, shipping
and boating
• No silver bullet
![Page 19: Marine litter & single use plastics items · facilitate closing the loop. Elements of the Solution (iii) •Address land-based litter prevention: –adopt Commission and Parliament](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062505/5e2c09123ddbeb0fbe7eda22/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Sources of marine litter (ii)
• NOT significantly caused by the EU’s on-
the-go coffee sippers, water drinkers or
hamburger eaters…
• Probably 5 to 10% of macro plastics litter
is from single use service packaging
• That does not mean we should assume
“business as usual”…
• …but even-handed solutions are needed
![Page 20: Marine litter & single use plastics items · facilitate closing the loop. Elements of the Solution (iii) •Address land-based litter prevention: –adopt Commission and Parliament](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062505/5e2c09123ddbeb0fbe7eda22/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Elements of the Solution (i)
• Establish shared responsibility for
delivering change because manufacturers
cannot do it alone
• Understand the dynamics of every
situation to target appropriate solutions
• Be sure of the science
• Set clear, fair and realistic goals & targets
• Make these binding but grant realistic
timeframes to achieve them
![Page 21: Marine litter & single use plastics items · facilitate closing the loop. Elements of the Solution (iii) •Address land-based litter prevention: –adopt Commission and Parliament](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062505/5e2c09123ddbeb0fbe7eda22/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Elements of the Solution (ii)
• Behaviour change is vital
• Promote re-use where this is appropriate
• Ensure access to collection and recycling
infrastructures and systems for recyclable
products
• Promote product redesign…
• …including material-use rationalisation to
facilitate closing the loop

Elements of the Solution (iii)
• Address land-based litter prevention:
– adopt Commission and Parliament proposals
for shared responsibility for litter and
prevention of littering (Waste Directive)
– install producer responsibility for litter
prevention communications across the supply
chain

Final Thought…
• Avoid “quick fix” measures which may give
the appearance of action…
• They tend to unfairly discriminate without
addressing the fundamental issues…
THANKS!
