MPS and Industry call for Investment in Compostables

A group of cross-party MPs and Peers has joined industry experts in signing a letter published in the Guardian, calling on the government to include ambitious targets for compostables in the Environment Bill, which is expected to be reintroduced to Parliament in the coming weeks. “We all have been under the impression that every piece of plastic can be recycled, and a massive effort has been made toward higher recycling rates.

Quantum Leap: As the problem of plastic waste worsens, environment-friendly packaging technologies will gain traction.

“I think that in 10 years from now, only the plastic that adapts to the changing market will survive. Eventually, plastic will be used in very limited segments where it could be re-used,” says Daphna Nissenbaum, cofounder and chief executive of TIPA. Read more at Economic Times India.
