MEPs make circular plastics proposals across Europe
A non-binding draft resolu- tion by members of the European Parliament has set out proposals for boosting plastics recycling in the EU. The MEPs adopted the resolution on 13 September with 597 votes to 15 (plus 25 abstentions) in the context of the EU’s Plastics Strategy for creating a Circular Economy in plastics packaging. Mark Demesmaeker, MEP, said: “My report is not a plea against plastic, but a plea for a circular plastic economy, in which we deal with plastic in a sustainable and responsi- ble way, so that we can stop

its harmful effects and preserve the value in the chain. To succeed, we must use this strategy as a lever for circular production and
consumption models. We need to deliver tailor-made solutions, as there are no passe-partout solutions. And we must work together across the entire value chain.” The draft resolution includes proposed EU-wide bans on oxo-degradable plastics and microplastics in cosmetics. “Oxo-degradable plastic does not properly biodegrade, is not com- postable and adversely affects how conventional plastic is recycled,” the MEPs’ statement said. They called on the
European Commission to
propose quality standards to create confidence and boost the market for recycled plastics. Member states should be allowed to choose from different methods for increas- ing collection and recycling, including extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes, deposit-refund schemes, and increased public awareness. However, MEPs also pro- posed assessing if the existing EU-wide EPR on packaging should be extended to other types of plastic. �
