Innovation Forum 4 Plastics

In 2018 and the European Commission adopted the European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy taking in account that Our society, economy and environment are all negatively affected by the way plastics are currently designed, produced, used and discarded. The amount of plastic litter is growing, hurting marine ecosystems, biodiversity and potentially human health. The strategy pursues an ambitious approach for plastic packaging recyclability and contains a strong response on microplastics which are a significant source of marine pollution. Additionally to this strategy and to make it more efficient, the European Commission have been funding along the last 7 years several R&D projects dealing with...
