Landfill is not an adequate solution for plastics waste; in fact, landfilling plastics waste simply means throwing oil away!
At the moment there is no uniform plastics waste management practice in the EU-27 countries; some countries are far ahead, while others are way behind political targets. To effectively tackle this situation, PlasticsEurope has developed a knowledge transfer programme, the main goals of which are to:
- Communicate a vision on waste management that is widely
accepted
- Assist in providing our know-how and share our best practices regarding waste management
- Make the general public aware that a proper plastics waste management scheme leads to resource efficiency
