In April 2020, the Dutch government decided to expand the existing deposit return system (DRS) to also include small plastic bottles. This enabled the country to meet the 90% separate collection target for plastic bottles as stated in Article 9 of the EU single-use plastics directive.
This map invites local authorities, businesses, and communities across Europe to reduce and phase out single-use plastics. It provides over 150 successful solutions which can easily be replicated on a wider scale. Help us preserve our ocean and land from the ever-increasing plastic pollution.
