Much can be done to curb plastic pollution

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION recently issued A European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy. Beijing News comments:

The milestone document, the first of its kind for the European Union, sets the target that all plastic packaging materials should be recyclable in the European market, and more than half of plastic waste should be recycled for reuse by 2030.

The United Kingdom and Germany have implemented stricter rules to increase the recycle rate of plastic products and wastes, which is in line with the document's requirement.
