European Bioplastics (EUBP) has backed a new European Parliament report on revised waste legislation which has emphasized the role of bioplastics to help the move to a circular economy.
The report, produced by Italian Member of Parliament (MEP) Simona Bonafè, set out the legal measures needed for a shift from a linear to a circular economy where waste was considered a valuable resource, and moves to a low-carbon bioeconomy, which used resources more efficiently.
