The EU has revealed a plan that would make all plastic packaging in the bloc recyclable, reduce single-use plastic and restrict microplastics. The plan would “lay the foundations for a new plastic economy.”

“If we don’t change the way we produce and use plastics, there will be more plastics than fish in our oceans by 2050,” said European Commission First Vice-President Frans Timmermans. “The only long-term solution is to reduce plastic waste by recycling and reusing more.”

Europeans produce 25 million tons of plastic waste annually, but less than 30% is recycled.

Microplastics enter the air, water and food systems with unknown consequences on human and wildlife health.
