How do we make EU #biowaste prevention and management finally work?

A coalition of 34 organisations + 40 European cities and companies have joined forces to call on the @EU_Commission to unlock the untapped potential of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as a driver of prevention, reuse and repair in the EU. https://t.co/URduQNA9vJ
Our two-pillar approach can transform #EPR to boost EU strategic autonomy:
1⃣ System Optimization through harmonization
2⃣ Circular Economy Enabler funding prevention & repair
Our new study reveals how #EPR systems can evolve beyond waste management to become strategic enablers of #EUcompetitiveness & resource security. Download "Designing EPR to Foster the EU's Competitiveness and Strategic Autonomy"

Global #PlasticsTreaty: we are getting there. Slowly.
Find out why Busan's negotiations were both a failure & a success & why an ambitious treaty later is better than a bad treaty now👇

In a welldesigned system with financial incentives upstream & cost coverage downstream there is no need to use plastic credits.
If we are designing a system which we want to include financial incentives upstream and cost coverage downstream, plastic credits are a distraction
Se nos han vendido los sistemas de Responsabilidad Ampliada del Productor como la panacea para la gestión de los #residuos, pero parece que han perpetuado el problema más que ponerle solución. Más info en este informe de @zerowasteeurope: https://t.co/NgOyxORuRo Cc: @JMSimonL
