In the European Union, and European member states, there are many laws, regulations and directives regulating plastic items. The packaging and packaging waste directives are currently under review to boost recycling rates, microplastics are in the process of being regulated and in summer 2019, a new European Union Directive on single-use plastics will become legally binding, requiring all EU Member States to include bans or other provisions to reduce waste from items like plastic cutlery, plastic bottles and fishing gear into national law, mostly within two years.
