Read the EUBA position on the EU Plastics Strategy

On 16 January 2018, the European Commission published its Communication ‘A European Strategy for Plastics in a Circular Economy’. With this proposal the Commission aims to take an ambitious step towards making the European plastics system more resource-efficient and driving the change from a linear to a circular system.
