5. Order concerning the maximum permitted plastic content in single-use plastic cups

6. Single-use cups composed wholly or partly of plastics

7. -

8. This Order defines the maximum plastic content permitted in single-use plastic cups as from 3 July 2021. The maximum permitted level shall be progressively lowered to a zero value from 1 January 2026.
As such, the Draft Order defines the concept of “maximum plastic content” allowed in cups. It sets a timetable for the reduction of the maximum plastic content in the cups. It provides for monitoring progress on alternative solutions to achieve zero value as of 1 January 2026. It introduces a time limit for disposal of stocks of 6 months of the cups manufactured or imported from the deadlines set.

9. The Draft Order notified is taken in the context of the application of Article 4 of Directive (EU) 2019/904 of 5 June 2019 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment. This Directive provides for the implementation of measures to reduce the consumption of certain single-use plastic products, in particular beverage cups, and specifies that such reduction measures may take the form of marketing restrictions targeted on these single-use plastic products.
A regulatory text previously notified in 2020 had transposed certain measures of this Directive (Decree No. 2020-1828 of 31 December 2020 on the prohibition of certain single-use plastic products). In particular, it lays down the conditions for the application of the ban on single-use plastic beverage cups on a trajectory to reduce the plastic content in these cups. This trajectory shall be specified by an Order, the subject of this notification. This measure to reduce the consumption of single-use plastic cups, in accordance with Article 4 of the above-mentioned Directive, pursues the objective of achieving the provision of plastic-free cups.
The provisions of this Order specify the conditions for the implementation of this trajectory to reduce the consumption of plastics in single-use cups. Achieving a complete reduction of plastic in cups requires a step-by-step approach, with deadlines between 2021 and 2026.

10. Reference texts: — Article L. 541-15-10 of the Environmental Code, Article D. 541-330 as amended by Decree No.2020-1828 of 31 December 2020 on the prohibition of certain single-use plastic products.
