🌍 This Earth Day and every day, we have taken ambitious steps and introduced concrete measures to reduce plastic pollution, including:

🔁 The EU’s Plastics strategy
🚯 The Single-Use Plastics Directive
♲ The Circular Economy Action Plan
🌊 Zero Pollution Action Plan

Last year, we adopted the chemical legislation REACH that restricts microplastics intentionally added to products. It prevents the release of about half a million tonnes of microplastics in the environment.

That’s all good, but how aggressively are we getting to net zero greenhouse gas emissions and eliminating fossil fuel usage? We’re running out of time.

How about we do something about single-use vapes rather than worrying about plastic bottle caps?
We know plastic recycling is a scam
