BPF Response to the French decree on disposable tableware

France has launched a public consultation in relation to a decree at issue that will impose a limitation on the French market of Plastic tableware disposable (cups, plates and glasses) as per 1st January 2020.  Only exception to the decree will be plastic tableware made from biosourced resources that can be composted in a domestic environment.

This decree affects all those British converters that export disposable tableware to France, even if they do not produce it in the French territory.

To protect the interest of our members that sell into the French market, we have responded to the public consultation on the decree.
