EUROPEAN ACTION DAY FOR THE COLLECTION OF PLASTIC LIDS
On July 5th the UN established an active combating that has to do with taking care of our environment.
European action is taken to collect plastic lids since it represents a pollution problem that is increasing rapidly.
In this regard, it should be noted that since July 3rd, 2021, the European Union has banned the most polluting disposable plastic items such as cutlery, plates and straws, yet, there are plastic objects that have not been banned: detergent products, cans and food wrapping. These products have not been banned because they are considered more difficult to replace.
Therefore, the European action day of collecting plastic lids will also try to contribute to the reduction of the problem of plastic pollution that affects the whole world.
Research has shown that each year, 8 million tonnes of plastic waste are dumped in the waters of the seas and oceans. Thus, this day aims to raise awareness about the negative impact of plastic, especially disposable plastic.
