Italy’s Unicoop Firenze Bans Disposable Plates and Glasses
Unicoop Firenze is set to become the first major Italian supermarket chain to impose a ban on the sales of disposable plates, glasses, and cutlery made of plastic.
The ban will be implemented from 1 June across its network of 104 stores throughout Tuscany.
The move will result in reducing around 220 million pieces of disposable plastic items annually, which is equivalent to 1,500 tonnes of plastic.
The products will be replaced with biodegradable and compostable alternatives.
