Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) Very lightweight plastic carrier bags used to wrap loose or unpackaged dry foods, such as fruits, vegetables or confectionery fulfil functions other than that of simply providing a means of carrying the goods in question. However, these bags can contribute significantly to the accumulation of litter. The use of these bags should therefore be reduced, or they should be gradually replaced by carrier bags made from recycled materials or biodegradable materials produced from renewable resources.
