Bioplastics body supports calls for separate recycling

25/04/2019
European Bioplastics (EUBP), the association for the bioplastics industry in Europe, has issued a statement in support of calls for separate recycling streams for biodegradable plastics. The request for a separate recycling stream for plastics that will degrade over time in the environment came in mid-April from the association of Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE). 

Berlin-based EUBP said it supports efforts to improve waste management efficiency throughout Europe and to ensure high quality in recycled plastics. It said it had made the statement in the light of current debates about EU strategy on plastics and the revision of EU waste legislation.
