5. Royal Decree on single-use products and to promote reusable products

6. This Decree shall apply to single-use products and reusable products.

7. - Directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste

8. Directive 2015/720 has not yet been the subject of a federal measure. This Directive aims to reduce the use of light plastic carrier bags and allows Member States to prohibit some of these bags. This provision is transposed by the Article 5, paragraph 2, and point 1° of the Annex 1 of the Royal Decree’s draft concerning single-use and reusable products and prohibits light plastic carrier bags, with the exception of very light plastic carrier bags and reusable plastic carrier bags which meet the requirements of the NBN EN 13429 standard. A deadline until 30/9/2022 was provided for this provision.

Directive 2019/90, with a wider scope than the Directive 2015/720, aims to:
• restrict and prohibit the use of certain single-use products;
• prohibit oxo-degradable plastics;
• to introduce an obligation for caps and lids to remain attached to certain packaging;
• to introduce a marking for a range of single-use plastic products;
• to introduce a mandatory level of recycled material for PET bottles.

9. The draft Royal Decree, which is annexed, aims to transpose into federal legislation two European Directives aimed at combating single-use plastic products and their harmful spread in the environment, with a particular focus on the aquatic and marine environment.

In view of the increasing focus on avoiding single-use products, the Royal Decree was given the title “Royal Decree on single-use products and to promote reusable products” (“Koninklijk besluit betreffende producten voor eenmalig gebruik en ter bevordering van herbruikbare producten” as per the Dutch version). This draft concerns only single-use plastic products covered by the Directives 2015/720 and 2019/904. It also contains national provisions facilitating the reuse of recycled bottles by specifying the conditions to be observed in the labelling of bottles, so they may be disposed of easily
