No.1 EU strategy deals with plastic waste
 
 
 
According to the news on the official website of European Commission released on January 16, the European Commission passed the first strategy for plastic products, Strategy for Plastics in European Union. It notably states that, all plastic packaging in the EU must be reusable or easily recyclable by 2030, which will reduce the consumption of disposable plastic products and limit the use of micro plastics in products. Under the strategy, plastic packaging in all EU markets will be recyclable by 2030, the use of disposable plastic products will be reduced, and the deliberate use of micro plastics will be limited.
 
Reason for listing:
 
Limiting the use and production of plastics is a highlight in the field of global sustainable development in 2018, which, to a large extent, benefit from EU’s effective efforts and practices in limiting plastics.
 
The strategy, because of its wide coverage, clear objectives, and effective supervision, not only restricts plastic packaging, encourages green consumption to become a good social trend, but also makes reducing plastic raw materials and restricting the production of plastic products become an important means for enterprises to respond to environmental problems and fulfill their social responsibilities.
 

The strategy was born in Europe, but it will influence the whole world, playing a leading and strategic role in global effective governance of plastic pollution and green consumption.
