Efforts will focus on improved recycling and phasing out single-use plastics
The European Commission has said that by 2030, all plastic packaging on the EU market will be recyclable or reuseable, under the vision set out in its new non-binding Plastics Strategy. The plan sets out a number measures to tackle the problem of plastic waste, including restrictions on the intentional use of microplastics and a decrease in the production of single-use plastics.
