@EUCommission In Germany, something is getting more common than the plastic bags that is not on the list: single-use vapes.

@EUCommission wrappers and fillings on packages; wrappers, bottles or boxes for items in supermarkets (bags too); disposable dishes, cups and cutlery that now are labeled as
"reusable"; cups and straws for beverages of "fancy" coffee shop franchises or bubble tea; plastic sprayed "paper" tea bags... -
@EUCommission cigarette butts are everywhere and more recently used vapes are showing up a lot!
-
@EUCommission None of the above. It's cigarette buds. Unless I'm near to open water, then waste is dominated by remains of fishing nets.

@EUCommission Cigarettes and single-use vapes. Ban them all.

@EUCommission cigarette filters are still everywhere

All to make them look "cleaner"

@EUCommission cigarette butts. Barely anyone knows they're plastic and not just paper. Not even talking about the poison hidden in them.

@EUCommission Cigarette butts are everywhere, and there's a shocking amount of ugly chewing gum blobs on city grounds too.
(Both are plastic, the cigarette filters as well as chewing gum. And they're both single-use as well.)

@EUCommission Plastic bottles full of urine, thrown by the side of the road by drivers whose contracts exploit them so much that they have no time to stop to use the toilet.
If we start by ending the power of the wealthy, so many other problems will begin to disappear…

@EUCommission the most common are Capri-Sonne (Capri-Sun in English) packages. I'm not sure if banning them would avoid the littering, though. They would replace it and then they litter with that replacement, I would guess. It would maybe help to have Pfand (deposit) on it.
