Catering establishments<\/p>\n\n
Cafes, restaurants, bars, etc. – no free distribution: <\/p>\n\n
\n
Disposable plastic food containers;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Disposable plastic drinks containers (including their caps and lids).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
*This ban applies to all establishments except those operating during mass events or on beaches.<\/p>\n\n
What do all caterers need to ensure<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n
The price of single-use plastic packaging must be clearly separated from the price of the product. It must not be included “automatically”. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
Plastic packaging must be properly declared in GPAIS in accordance with the legal requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
If food or drink is served on site using single-use plastic packaging, at least one of the following alternatives must be offered:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
– reusable packaging,<\/p>\n\n
– single-use plastic-free packaging,<\/p>\n\n
– normal tableware.<\/p>\n\n
*This does not apply to takeaway food or drinks.<\/p>\n\n
Beaches and mass events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
The free distribution or sale of plastic food and drink containers is prohibited in such places, unless a deposit is required.<\/p>\n\n
\n
The deposit is set on a site-by-site basis;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
It must be clearly separated from the price of the product;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The deposit is only recovered by the buyer after returning the packaging to the same establishment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
