In 2019 the European Union launched the so called “Green Deal”, a framework of innovative and ambitious legislative initiatives targeting climate change, carbon emissions, biodiversity, food safety and plastic pollution. The EU Commission published the Plastic Strategy, a set of proposals targeting the use and dispose of plastic-based items. We will learn how the new plastic legislation is developing, with particular focus on the Policy Framework for biobased and biodegradable plastics, the Single Use Plastic Directive and draft Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation with its possible impacts on the wipes & hygiene businesses.
