Recital 7
(7) To focus efforts where they are most needed, taking into account proportionality considerations, this Directive should only cover the most found single-use plastics products, where scientific evidence exists for those items to cause serious harm to the marine environment, which are estimated to represent around 86% of the single-use plastics found, in counts, on beaches in the Union.

Recital 12
(12) For other single-use plastic products, suitable and more sustainable alternatives that are also affordable are readily available. In order to limit the adverse impact of such products on the environment, Member States should be required to prohibit their placing on the Union market. By doing so, the use of those readily available and more sustainable alternatives that meet existing standards and Union legislation as well as innovative solutions towards more sustainable business models, re-use alternatives and substitution of materials would be promoted.

Recital 14
Recital 14
(14) Certain single-use plastic products end up in the environment as a result of inappropriate disposal through sewers or other inappropriate release into the environment. Therefore, single-use plastic products that are frequently disposed of through sewers otherwise inappropriately disposed of should be subject to marking requirements. The marking should inform consumers about appropriate waste disposal options and/or waste disposal options to be avoided and/or about the negative environmental impacts of litter as a result of inappropriate disposal. The Commission should be empowered to establish a harmonised format for the marking and when doing so should, where appropriate, test the perception of the proposed marking with representative groups of consumers and industry to ensure that it is effective and clearly understandable.
