In a bold step to move towards a circular economy, the European Council recently adopted a stringent waste package for its member states, a plan which sets new rules for waste management and establishes legally binding targets for recycling.
According to the targets, 50 per cent of plastic packaging will have to be recycled in the EU and 55 per cent by 2030. Currently, only 30 per cent of plastic packaging is recycled in the EU. The new rules come after a gap of four years when a revision of targets was proposed in 2014.
