Chemicals of concern: Overhaul urgently needed to fix ‘failed’ plastic recycling systems says Reuters
According to the EU Commission, everything is fine in plastic recycling land. They've received the briefing from the Ellen McArthur Foundation and the Foundation received money from the industry :-).
Reading this article about the ‘failed’ plastic recycling systems and the urgent need for an overhaul resonates deeply with my experience. It highlights the crucial issues that the current recycling infrastructure faces, where many chemicals of concern are overlooked and plastic waste is mishandled. As a concerned citizen, I believe it is high time for comprehensive and effective changes in the plastic recycling process. We need a robust and transparent system that ensures chemicals of concern are appropriately managed and that plastic waste is truly recycled in an environmentally responsible manner. This article serves as a call to action for individuals, businesses, and governments to come together and find sustainable solutions to the plastic waste crisis. It’s crucial for us to demand better recycling practices and hold companies accountable for their environmental impact. My personal experience has reinforced the need for urgent action. I now look forward to supporting initiatives and advocating for an overhaul of plastic recycling systems to create a more sustainable and cleaner future for our planet. It’s time for all of us to play a part in fixing the ‘failed’ plastic recycling systems and fostering a more eco-friendly approach to waste management.
