The modern paper drinking straw is a new highly engineered product that has become increasingly popular as a replacement for plastics straws, which are to be banned as of July 2021.
To support this transition, 15 companies from the supply chain belonging to the EU trade association 360° Foodservice have developed a Charter of Trust for Paper Drinking Straws. This lists the standards and legislative obligations that straw manufacturers and their supply chains must respect strictly in order to produce a legally compliant product, which is fit for purpose and safe.
Compliant products will soon be made visible in the market by a registered Trust Mark.
During the launch event, the Charter of Trust will be presented along with the plans to promote it to the market and to surveillance and enforcement authorities. The aim is to ensure only compliant, and therefore safe, products are placed on the EU market.
