This initiative draws inspiration from the successful introduction of the single-use carrier bag charge in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Research conducted by Zero Waste Scotland in 2022 revealed a significant rise in the use of single-use cups, with numbers increasing from approximately 200 million in 2018 to an estimated 388.7 million in 2021-22 across Scotland. These cups contribute 5,400 tonnes of waste annually, and are a prominent symbol of littering. The Scottish Government\u2019s consultation paper proposes a charge of at least 25p on all single-use beverage cups purchased with any drink. This charge would be applied regardless of cup material, and would therefore include more sustainable cups made from biodegradable material or bio-based plastics.<\/p>\n<p>However, there will be exceptions for when a drink is free, such as in a hospital or care home, and based on specific purposes or settings, such as in schools and vending machines. Retailers would be permitted to retain a portion of the charge to cover reasonable implementation costs, consistent with the approach used for the single-use carrier bag charge.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/resource.co\/article\/scottish-government-launches-consultation-single-use-disposable-cup-charge\">Resource<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/1-580\/\">Scottish Government launches consultation on single-use disposable cup charge<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2440,15809,575,1162],"class_list":["post-133226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-charge","tag-disposable-cup","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-scotland"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133226","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133226"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133226\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133226"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133226"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133226"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
