The amount of plastic is increasing, despite measures

“The amount of plastic is increasing, despite measures”

“the Amount of plastic continues to increase despite the scares and action to reduce it, reports the Echo in the Radio.”

“Last year 215 000 tonnes of plastic packaging on the Swedish market and every year increases the amount of plastic packaging with approximately two per cent.”

“– the Main reason it increases is because it is such a good material. Late also increases the food retail sector overall, which means that also the amount of plastic packaging is increasing, ” said Karin Brynell, ceo of the Swedish Food retailers federation.”

“Several measures have been put forward to limit the plastic waste. The EU has banned a part engångsplastartiklar as straws, go and plastic plates. In Sweden has, among other things, tightened up the law on producer responsibility, which means that plastic packaging may be used only when it is necessary.”
