Single-use fast-food packaging hangs in the balance

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 05:28:31 GMT

LILLE, France — Throwaway fast food packaging is under notice in the EU. Or, at least, it was. Brussels is working on new rules to slash the amount of packaging waste mounting up across the bloc. That includes a ban on single-use packaging for customers eating in fast food restaurants, like french fry wrappers and paper cups that typically end up littering city streets.The proposed EU rules largely echo legislation already in place in France, where, since January, fast-food customers eating on-site are served french fries and fizzy drinks in reusable plastic containers, rather than single-use paper cups and cartons. Green-minded lawmakers and campaigners want to see that model expanded and applied across the bloc, arguing it will cut down on packaging waste and help the bloc achieve its circular economy goals. But that’s sparked fierce pushback from fast-food giants and paper packaging lobbyists, who have spent the past year, and a lot of money, lobbying MEPs to make sure...
