Ennis Manufacturer Hails 2030 Ban On Disposable Plastic Cups

An Ennis-based paper cup manufacturer feels it’s a big statement to say all disposable cups will be banned by 2030.

The European Union plans to eliminate plastic coffee cups, straws and takeaway packaging within the next 12 years.

All single use plastics will be replaced by recyclable biodegradable packaging to cut down on the environmental impact across the continent.

Terry Fox is Managing Director of Cup print, a firm which already produces recyclable products – he says there’s ways to improve recyclability.
