It has been known for a year now that from 2021, the distribution of certain disposable plastics should be banned in Hungary as well. All of this was finally accompanied by a government decree and a bill.

In addition to being very timely, the current proposal is not at all surprising, as it serves to comply with a directive of the European Parliament and the European Council, which prohibits the marketing of several plastic products in the European Union, including Hungary, from 2021.
