  • New Standardisation Request – Tethered caps and lids for cleaner beaches

    The Single-Use Plastic directive requires that, from 2024 on, caps and lids remain attached to single-use beverage containers with a capacity of up to three litres. To make this possible, Europe needs to develop a standard to ensure caps and lids are of appropriate strength, reliability and safety while remaining attached to the beverage container during the product’s use.
