Containers or receptacles intended for on-the-spot or on-the-move consumption made entirely or partly of extruded polystyrene, expanded or extruded polypropylene

Décret relatif à l'interdiction de certains récipients pour aliments en plastique à usage unique constitués de plastique expansé ou extrudé (Decree banning certain single-use plastic food receptacles made of expanded or extruded plastic) (2 page(s), in French)

The Law of 10 February 2020 on combating waste and on the circular economy bans certain single-use plastic products, including containers or receptacles made of expanded polystyrene intended for on-the-spot or on-the-move consumption.

The ban seeks to prevent the environmental impact of discarding such single-use plastic products. To prevent any circumvention of this ban, the Decree supplements it by referring to the same products when made entirely or partly of extruded polystyrene, of expanded or extruded polypropylene.
