Glass what a passion-or is it? The last two decades have seen a tightening of regulations onnoise pollution and safety in public spaces. The standard that at the national level regulates the sector is the 'Framework Law on Noise Pollution' number 447 of October 26, 1995.
It is paragraph H in particular that from which derive the regulations adopted by many small and large Italian municipalities, which have over the years issued "temporary ordinances, limited to the 'holding of events in public places, shows of a temporary nature' that expressly prohibit the sale of beverages in glass containers, as well as the use of glass glasses for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks," with penalties of up to 20 thousand euros.
NO TO GLASS, YES TO PLASTIC
The main alternative to glass is plastic, since any glass object can be replaced with plastic materials, reusable and non-reusable, from plexiglass to polypropylene via polycarbonate.
Specifically, what are the places where plates, glasses, sparkling wine glasses and all other glass products belonging to theHoreca universe cannot be used?
BEACHES
Beaches do not only remind us of vacations and carefree moments, but they are - or rather should be - also among the symbolic places of the 'fight against glass'; on the seashores, plastic objects are not only safer, but also very trendy, starting with new ideas in glasses.
DISCOTECES
Not only parties and toasts, parties and cocktails. In nightclubs, safety regulations, which have long banned the use of glass products, are important, indeed fundamental; for your birthdays and top nights, how can you do without plastic sparkling glasses?
HAWKERS, CHIRINGUITOS AND OUTDOOR VENUES
Street hawkers, chiringuitesand outdoor venues: very different targets and types of environments, from 'grab and go' to beach kiosks, but with a common denominator; the large consumption of disposable glasses, which are increasingly in demand and of high quality, as well as having a very wide range of choice, given their pairing with finger food.
SPA AND TERRACE PARTIES
We close this roundup with two of the most fashionable venues: spas and terraces. Spas are the places of relaxation par excellence, while 'balconies,' preferably with breathtaking views, among the most fashionable and trendy ones for your parties. What better settings to experiment with melamine objects, a material that was born to replace porcelain, especially in catering services?
