In fact, lately the European Parliament approved a law according to which starting from 2021 in all member States <strong>the sale of disposable plastic will be forbidden<\/strong>. Stop to dishes, cutlery, straws, balloon sticks, cotton buds, beverage mixers, food containers, expanded polystyrene cups.<\/p>\n<p>The provision was approved with 560 votes in favour, 35 against and 28 abstentions. <strong>A first significant step forward for Europe<\/strong>, which aims at reducing the environmental damage of 22 billion of Euros \u2013 such is the esteemed cost of the plastic pollution in our continent from now to 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Just think that <strong>the 80% of marine trash comes from plastic<\/strong>. Its slow decomposition causes it to accumulate in seas, oceans and beaches all around the world. Waste that is ingested by turtles, seals, whales, birds , fish and shellfish, down to the human food chain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And what about plastic bottles? <\/strong>At the moment they remain out of the directive, which, however, states that within 2019 <strong>all member States should collect 90% of plastic\u00a0bottles<\/strong>, which by 2025 must be made at least for 25% of recycled material, to reach 30% by 2030.\u00a0<strong>The goal is that of reducing significantly the use of plastic bottles<\/strong>, introducing also a deposit system similar to that already in use for some glass
