The objective of this consultation is to provide input, opinions, and data for preparation of follow-up to the Plastics Strategy in relation to marine litter, particularly from single-use plastics and fishing gear.
The upcoming Strategy on Plastics in a circular economy will lay down the foundations of a new plastics economy, where reuse and recycling are fully integrated into production chains, where plastic pollution and its adverse impact on citizens’ lives and the environment are tackled. The Strategy will acknowledge the urgent need for concrete actions to reduce plastic leakage into the environment, in particular in our seas and oceans.
