BRUSSELS - Europe has become the first international region to join the Ellen Macarthur Foundation’s Plastics Pact network which aims to prevent plastics from becoming waste or pollution.
The European Plastics Pact brings together 15 governments and 66 businesses within the European Economic Area (EEA) to work towards a common vision for a circular economy for plastics.
Although aimed at plastic packaging and single-use plastics, it opens the door to more post-consumer streams from these areas being recycled for use in other sectors, such as textiles.
