EU outlines strategy to wipe out plastic waste

Putting the brakes on our plastic waste is going to be anything but straightforward. Europe alone generates 25 million tonnes of plastic waste each year and recycles less than 30 percent of it. Eliminating single-use plastics would be a huge step forward, and that’s the direction taken by the European Union, which is launching a new strategy whereby only recyclable versions will be in use by 2030.
