As you may recall, the Single-Use and Plastic Waste Prevention Regulation was announced on July 14, 2023, representing a significant step towards implementing the CleanBC Plastics Action Plan. In response to significant feedback, we will be shifting to a phased implementation of this regulation. Starting December 20, 2023, some requirements and prohibitions will take effect, while the timeline for others will be extended to July 15, 2024, and in the case of PVC film wrap, July 1, 2028. This approach will allow businesses to use up existing stock and select better options; give people more time to learn about the changes; and allow additional time to develop and implement sustainable acceptable alternatives to more challenging items such as PVC film wrap. The phased implementation will proceed as follows:

🌱Compostable very lightweight plastic carrier bags…   ✅ Extend the shelf life of food by #reducing losses during transport and storage  ✅ Contribute to a second life by supporting cleaner and easier #foodwaste #collection    🇪🇺  Which is why EUBP advocates for them to be mandatorily #compostable within the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.     #PPWR

1. Each and every NEW PRODUCT is wraped by thin plastic sheet , we should categorise that plastic then with some modifications ( cleaning and again covert to sheet/ Roll ) to make it useful again. We can deliver that plastic to industries for reuse. (packaging of any new product) 2. We should categorise such plastic waste which we can reuse in road construction. Transportation engineer should recommend for this categorisation of plastic waste. Harsh Parolkar , Sourabh Sharma Nitin Gadkari 3. Categorisation of plastic waste at source in each and every township/ household ( like shampoo sachets, bottles, polyethylene bags, milk plastic bags) , THERE IS REQUIREMENT TO DEVELOP SUCH KIND OF SMALL DUSTBIN WITH COMPARTMENTS ( TO CATEGORISE PLASTIC WASTE AT SOURCE) WITH ADDITION , WE HAVE TO DEVELOP/ MODIFY THAT FACILITY IN WASTE COLLECTION VEHICAL ALSO Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) Devendra Dohare NEPRA - Let's Recycle Sandeep Patel Devendra Deo RAJAT JATAV Ravi Jangid Chinmay Rathore TRIDEV PAWAR Yejashva Kaneriya Mohnish Nagle ATUL TIWARI PANKAJ GURUDEV

The upcoming Plastics Recycling World Expo this September will feature multiple panels discussing key issues for the sector. With EPR schemes proliferating, PPWR changing the way we produce, consume, and recycle packaging, and the proposed ELV regulation looking to expand the scope of recycling efforts, this is a challenging time for the plastics industry but one that offers new opportunities for sustainable growth. ➡️ The event will address the changing legislative landscape in a panel featuring EXPRA - Extended Producer Responsibility Alliance, EuRIC - The European Recycling Industries and more. ➡️ Expanding on the theme of PPWR, a second panel featuring Berry Global, Inc., Avery Dennison and Flexible Packaging Europe (FPE) will look at how legislation, social pressure and technology are changing the role of plastic packaging in Europe. ➡️ A third discussion between MUNICIPAL WASTE EUROPE, AMI and others will then examine the economic, logistical and technological requirements that are set to influence recycling rates over the coming decade.

Nationwide Kerbside Recycling Standardisation – 1st February 2024 From February 1, everyone in New Zealand will have to follow identical guidelines for what items can and cannot be placed in their kerbside recycling bins.   Previously, regions had different rules for what was accepted in local council collections.      From 1st Feb, only plastics marked #1, #2 & #5 can be put in your recycling bin. Items must be clean. All lids and caps, and items under 50mm are excluded! New items excluded from 1 February 2024:    ·        Items less than 50mm (e.g. caps, small cosmetic and spice containers)    ·        Aerosol cans (steel and aluminium)    ·        Liquid paperboard (Tetrapak and juice boxes)    ·        Plastics 3, 4, 6 and 7    ·        Aluminium foil and trays    ·        All lids    ·        Items over 4 litres  While reducing the use of single use items is the best way to reduce waste, the second best is recycling correctly.  #kerbsidestandardisation #recycling #waste #plastics #circulareconomy

The US government has announced plans to tackle local and global plastic #pollution and waste, including a call for the banning of #singleuseplastics within federal operations. The Biden-Harris administration announced a new goal to phase out federal procurement of single use plastics within food service operations, events and packaging by 2027, with plans to eliminate the material from all federal operations by 2035.

Hi all, we have a large amount of HDPE and PVC waste we want to dispose of responsibly. Does it have a value these days as a recycled product? Interested to hear people’s thoughts on this? #wastemanagement #plasticrecycling #hdpepipe #pvcpipe #recycledmaterials #recyclingindustry #dorsetbusiness #somersetbusiness #wiltshirebusiness

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is heading to the European Parliament for a vote during its second April plenary session, from today to the 25th in Strasbourg, France. This decision holds significant implications for the future of packaging and sustainability efforts across borders. Weighing in on this pivotal moment, which aspects of the PPWR do you think need further clarification or revisions? A) The "mirror clause" restricting imported recycled plastics B) The allowance for EU member states to implement national packaging rules/exemptions C) The targets & timelines for recycled content quotas D) The bans on certain single-use plastic packaging formats Reply with your answer in the comments section below! #PPWR #PackagingRegulation #Sustainability

For sure, you can all relate to the data, visuals and challenges mentioned in this video. And we all know in great details about the #SingleUsePlastic (SUP) pollution and its implications, and we also wonder about the success of the (not quite implemented) #SUP ban. Why is the SUP ban not effective? Why are shopkeepers still using polythene? Why don’t sellers care about the micron specifications? Why do people not carry their own bags for shopping? Why do producers continue to manufacture banned polythene bags, plastic straws, and most of the 19 items? Why is #ExtendedProducersResponsibility (EPR) not taken seriously? Why is EPR looked at as a green signal for continuing to produce single use plastic? Why is the paper cup that has plastic lining not banned as a single use item? Why can’t people carry their own water bottles? Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (Mpcb) Ministry of Ayush MoEF&CC MyWasteMyResponsibility Swachh Bharat Mission
