Plastic bags provide great convenience for people's lives because of their clean weight and anti-degradation characteristics, and they also promote the rapid spread of plastic bags in the environment.
According to the European Commission’s question and answer on the use of plastics, it is estimated that about 98.
6 billion plastic handbags were put on the EU market in 2010, which is equivalent to 198 per EU citizen per year, which is equivalent to 1 per day per European household.
More than one plastic bag.
Of these 98.
6 billion bags, approximately 90% are lightweight bags.
The annual per capita consumption of plastic bags varies greatly among the member states.
The per capita consumption of Denmark and Finland is about 4, and the per capita consumption of Poland, Portugal and Slovakia is estimated to be 466.
Because they are not restricted by relevant legislation, plastic bags once avoided the waste management flow, and continued to accumulate in the environment, especially in the form of marine debris.
Once discarded, plastic bags can be stored for hundreds of years, and more and more evidences show that they pose a serious threat to marine ecology and the survival of animals such as fish and birds.

In May 2015, the European Union issued Directive (EU) 2015/720 aimed at reducing the consumption of lightweight plastic handbags.
This directive amends the European Union’s directive 94/62/EC on packaging and packaging waste, which aims to solve the problem of unsustainable consumption and use of lightweight plastic handbags (that is, plastic handbags with a wall thickness of less than 50 microns).

At this point, the European Union officially included plastic bags in the management of packaging and packaging waste.

At this point, the European Union officially included plastic bags in the management of packaging and packaging waste.
The directive requires member states to take measures such as national emission reduction targets and/or economic measures (such as fees, taxes) and sales restrictions (bans).
Ensure that by December 31, 2019, the annual consumption of lightweight plastic handbags per person does not exceed 90; by December 31, 2025, the annual consumption of lightweight plastic handbags per person does not exceed 40 or set Set an equivalent weight goal.
Member States are not allowed to impose sales restrictions (bans) on plastic handbags with a wall thickness of more than 50 microns (that is, reusable packaging bags), but are free to take other measures to reduce their consumption, such as economic measures or other countries’ reduction measures, And it is strongly recommended that member states report their consumption to the European Commission.

Malta's transformation and management requirements of the EU Plastic Bag Directive
In accordance with the requirements of the EU Plastic Bag Directive (EU) 2015/720, Malta has transformed its management requirements for plastics into relevant environmental protection and product safety legal documents and related subsidiary regulations, mainly related to the "Environmental Protection Law" and "Products Safety Law and the Waste Management (Packaging and Packaging Waste) (No.
2 Amendment) Regulations.
These laws and regulatory documents have clearly transformed the requirements of the EU Plastic Bag Directive, and officially incorporated the management of plastic bags into the scope of packaging and packaging waste management.

Three, summary
At present, for the EU Plastic Bag Directive (EU) 2015/720, most EU member states have transformed and formulated their own management regulations (according to the introduction of the EU on the transformation of regulations in various countries: only Bulgaria, Germany and Finland have not yet formulated it).
Malta's management measures for plastic bags have also become clearer with the "Regulations on Restrictions on the Placement of Lightweight Plastic Handbags on the Market.
By the end of 2021, the European Commission will submit a report to the European Parliament and the Council to assess the effectiveness of measures taken by member states in combating littering, changing consumer behavior and promoting waste prevention.
At that time, we will learn more about the actual effectiveness of Malta and other EU member states in implementing this ban.
