Campaigners urge UK to follow EU plastic sachet ban
On 4 March 2024, the EU announced the decision to ban sauce sachets by 2030 as part of a deal on a new green packaging law.
The legislation comes after years of campaigning by A Plastic Planet to eradicate the sachets.
In 2020, a coalition of more than 50 UK business leaders, politicians and campaigners successfully came together to demand the inclusion of plastic sachets in European and UK legislation, positioning them alongside other single-use items such as plastic straws and cotton buds.
