The European Commission introduced the Directive (EU) 2019/904 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment which came into force on 2 July 2019. It aims to tackle pollution from single-use plastics and fishing gear, as the items most commonly found on European beaches, and promote the transition to a circular economy.6. The Scottish Government fully support the EU vision of phasing-out single-use plastics wherever possible and we are aiming to meet or exceed the standards set out in the SUP Directive and build on these to support Scotland's position as a leader in the Circular Economy.7.

The proposed introduction of market restrictions is the first step of a package of measures to address marine litter and end our throwaway culture, building on existing Scottish Government policy to addressing these issues including the single-use carrier bag charge and restrictions on plastic-stemmed cotton buds.
