The Spanish government proposed a draft legislation on June 2 to ban the use of some single-use plastic products and tax single-use plastic packaging
.
Agence France-Presse reported that the draft was specifically proposed for the fast food and takeaway industries
.
Teresa Rivera, Spain's environment minister, said the special tax on plastic packaging is an "indirect tax" that will be levied on the production, import and procurement of single-use plastic packaging from EU member states
.
The tax rate of 0.
45 euros (about 3.
6 yuan) per kilogram is expected to bring Spain 724 million euros (5.
8 billion yuan) in tax revenue each year
.
Rivera cited Madrid's 80,000-seat Santiago Bernabée Stadium as an example, saying Spain alone could fill 45 of those stadiums with plastic packaging waste from households
