Greece will introduce an end to disposable plastics as of July 1, 2021, Environment & Energy Minister Kostis Hatzidakis said on Saturday at Schinias beach NE of Athens, where he inaugurated a joint partnership with the AC Laskaridis Charitable Foundation on the “Greece, Free of Single-Use Plastics” campaign, ANA reports.
At the event, where volunteers cleaned the beach from plastics, Hatzidakis said that the end to single-use plastics will be introduced to the public administration sector six months before it goes public, on January 1, he said, to allow businesses and the public ample time to adjust.
The campaign is posted at the following sites: www.supfree.gr, Facebook (@supfreegreece) and Instagram (supfreegreece).
