The government wants to limit the use of plastic disposable products with the so-called SUP legislation. With this amended legislation, the EU wants to reduce the amount of plastic litter. This is badly needed, because the negative effects on the environment are great. This also applies to single-use plastic products. Under the EU Directive 2019/904, drinks may in the future only be sold in plastic packaging if the cap remains attached to the containers. This has major consequences for the producers in the beverage industry who can experience problems with their cap inspection machines.
