Issue 10/2014 - The European Union officially passes the Plastic Waste Disposal Act

The European Union officially passed the plastic waste disposal bill

According to the European Plastics Recycling Association, the European Union has officially passed the plastic waste disposal bill a few
days ago.
This marks a higher step in
Europe's plastic recycling business.
In this regard, industry insiders believe that the introduction of the bill will strengthen the determination
of Europeans to reduce the emission of plastic waste and improve the secondary utilization rate of plastic products.

At present, European bioplastics are facing both opportunities and challenges
.
On the one hand, bioplastics expand the range of raw materials for plastics, which is an excellent opportunity for the development of plastic products; On the other hand, the current regulation of bioplastics is not standardized
enough.
Many bioplastic raw materials cannot meet EU standards, resulting in their end product market competitiveness
.

In order to further enhance the sustainability of plastics and related products, the European Parliament has mandated the European Commission to deal with legislative proposals and start implementing specific measures
for the disposal of plastic waste.
