Tethered Closures: EU Plastic Packaging Regulation and What it Means for the Beverage Industry

The EU Single Use Plastic Directive is catalysing change in the European beverage packaging landscape, from targeting recycling and recycled content minimums, to requiring plastic closures to stay attached, tethered, to plastic containers. This, in order to capture closures, for recycling and re-use, for circularity. Tethered caps by 2024 calls for cross-value chain collaboration.
