Single-use plastic consumption of items like cups, straws and bags for takeaway is rapidly increasing, especially in food packaging for better transportation and durability. At the same time however, single-use plastics cause environmental pollution. The webinar on ‘How to reduce single-use plastics in food delivery and takeaway’ organised by the project on 30 July 2020 highlighted current developments and efforts as well as examples and best practices on single-use plastics reduction and avoidance with a specific focus on Europe, China and Thailand.

The documentation of the webinar summarises the speaker’s contributions and opinions.
