According to the association, that is “totally unworkable” in practice.
#Clear plastic cups professional
The Association of Professional Fryers (ProFri) is concerned about a campaign on the ban of free single-use plastic, calling on cafeteria customers to bring their own pan when they get fries from Saturday. Concerns about “bring your own container” campaign The government hopes that reusable tableware will be used more often and that more plastic can be recycled. From 1 January 2024, disposable cups and containers that contain plastic and are used on location, such as at the office or festival, are banned. The new rules should prevent litter and reduce the use of disposable plastic. The new rules don’t ban disposable plastic cups but free single-use plastic. KHN also said it would not enforce whether members were observing the rules and referred to the Human Environment and Transport Inspectorate of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management. Practice will have to show that, the association said. KHN also said it couldn’t guess whether more people will bring their own cups to catering establishments. KHN says it does not yet know what amounts catering entrepreneurs will charge. The government drew up a guideline for this, varying from 0.05 cents for pre-packaged fruit, vegetables, and nuts, to 0.50 cents for containers that fit a meal. Entrepreneurs can decide for themselves how much they charge extra. “If that does not happen and, for example, the cups end up in the litter, then the legislation misses its target.” According to KHN, practice will show whether the new rules will work.įrom Saturday, cafeterias and other catering establishments must charge for disposable plastic cups and containers that are used only once. With reusable cups, the KHN doubts whether guests will return the cups.
“This means that companies must switch to reusable alternatives or ‘bring your own,’” said a spokesperson. “There are no alternatives for these without plastic,” said sector organization Koninklijke Horeca Nederland (KHN). Drinking cups and sauce packets will be the “biggest challenges” for the hospitality industry from Saturday, July 1, when the new rules for single-use plastic take effect.
