@LarissaCopello@EU_Commission@EUvebeenbottled Single use plastic represents a business model. That is why it is so powerful and the nestles, Danones and coca Colas of this this world pick a tough fight to stick to it. Destroy the single use business model and progress will come
@steveleeres1 Maybe sir, you should first find out what that is, Plastics before speculating about such tremendously innovative ideas. Wrong in every sense
@circulareconomy@NewPlasticsEcon Be careful not to be falling into hot air traps. Much understanding depends on the right definitions. There we are sloppy, our talk fluffy and our results blurred.
@greendipped @steveleeres1 Certainly the vocal mainstream doesn’t want it. People want to get washed their fur without getting wet. But circular dreaming will only lead to dizziness and not solve a single problem. Time is not mature for change, but It will be rather soon.
@greendipped @steveleeres1 Interesting discussion. The first question should be: does anyone on earth need this. The answer is a clear „no“. This shows the whole dilemma of the circular economy discussion. It does not question he sense of what we do but the way in which we do it. Wrong
@circulareconomy@NewPlasticsEcon@NineSigma Plastic has to be reduced drastically worldwide. This requires a profound rethinking of product policy. Recycling can be a false friend if it is used as justifying business as usual. Political moves hyping recycling as the proper way out are bound to fail on the long run.

@CIWM Those lovers of gold plated sugar water ruining their teeth and health should scroll down to learn that that these sugar and water alchemists only try to get to 50% of recyclate content. And that might event result in chemical poisoning. Good luck.
@EU_Commission @TimmermansEU @jyrkikatainen@EBienkowskaEU@KarmenuVella@EU_Growth@EU_ENV @EUClimateAction Well done. But circular economy is not about recycling in the first place and in particular not an end in itself as you seem to believe. Read this one. https://t.co/wTUIwYv4uk the strategy disregards the waste hierarchy and adds little to sustainability.
Better product design makes plastics recycling easier. We will consider new product requirements under our Ecodesign Directive to include recyclability requirements #PlasticsStrategy
