Italy will be the first European country to ban plastic cups and balloons

Europe will ban plastic plates, cutlery and straws by 2021, but Italy has decided to do even more, saying goodbye also to glasses and balloons. In fact, the Italian Parliament will go beyond what is required by the European Directive in terms of single-use plastics, adding in the proposed text an amendment that extends the abolition of disposable plastic also to these other two types of products.
