It doesn't really help.. @Green_Europe or @ICLEI_Europ can you give us any further info or where to find this info that's accessible & consumer friendly? #circulareconomy #reduction #reuse #recycling #PlastiCircle #EU #environment #sustainability #CircularEconomy #ZeroWaste

@StraightgreenBE @EU_ENV @PlasticsEurope @surfridereurope @UberEats Hello, the #foodcontactmaterials symbol only attests suitability of the material to be in contact with #food, the reuse part is not covered under the same legislation. So you should probably look for specific recycle / reuse signs on those containers. Hope that helps :)!

[Straightforward Green @StraightgreenBE]

They all have alternatives. Extra points if you know the alternatives!

Good way to start your Plastic Free Tuesday @PlasticFreeTues!

Q @Food_EU (& @EU_ENV @PlasticsEurope @surfridereurope) When we order food on @UberEats (in the #EU), we get #plastic containers with the #foodcontactmaterials symbol. Can we #reuse these? if yes how many times? #chemicals #sustainability #BeatPlasticPollution #bereadytochange

How do you choose your reusable coffee cup?
Are they eco-friendly? What about #FCM? Are they to EU Standards? What are the options to source local ones? #circulareconomy #plastics #BreakFreeFromPlastic #bruxelles #EU #coffeecups #coffee #coffelover #SUPs

What is @Zalando_Press doing to help EU #CircularEconomy?
Reducing useless packaging & the useless packaging of air? :) but how?

[Rethink Plastic @RethinkPlastic]

@StraightgreenBE @VilleBruxelles @PlasticFreePlux @KeepCup Our friends at @PlasticFreePlux are doing an amazing job, indeed, to help Luxembourg Square #rethinkplastic.
Many music festivals and events in Brussels are already using @EcocupEu with a deposit system.
Change is already happening, and our regulators can make it flourish! 😊

[Straightforward Green @StraightgreenBE]

@RethinkPlastic @VilleBruxelles @PlasticFreePlux @KeepCup @EcocupEu Great to hear!
Imagine if all the BEST coffee houses in #Bruxelles got involved? Who can help?

[Rethink Plastic @RethinkPlastic]

@StraightgreenBE Absolutely agree - this is why at #rethinkplastic & #breakfreefromplastic @brkfreeplastic we call on regulators & industry to PREVENT pointless and harmful plastic waste, and make it easier for people to live sustainably. 🙂 (1)

@CromptonDanni @Unilever @OneYoungWorld @aplastic_planet Where can we ready the outcomes of this? We would love to learn more!

[Straightforward Green @StraightgreenBE]

@TheJonnyMoss Many 'offset' projects fail to recognize the ecological impact of their particuar industry. It's not only about carbon... This platform is trying to collect information on how to actually go from A to B (transition) to EU #CircularEconomy. Happy to hear your views!

[Straightforward Green @StraightgreenBE]

We need changes in policy to have a market which makes it easier for the consumers to do the right thing! Right now it's just harder to be 'green'. -> #breakfreefromplastic #rethinkplastic #circulareconomy #carbonfootprint

Any ideas?

@BambooHerb Some producers use synthetic materials such as melamine & polylactic acid in the production of their bamboo products ->Bamboo is just used as filler. To what standards do you hold your products to?
