EU to reveal plans to limit plastic waste
By EUobserver
The EU commission will reveal on Monday plans to limit the use of plastics and raise tax-revenues for the Union's budget. Germany has already signalled approval of the plans, with environment minister Svenja Schulze telling German TV ARD that single-use plastics "should be regulated at a European level". Without action there will be more plastic than fish in the sea by 2050, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation has warned.
