Biodegradable bio-waste bags certified according to EN 13432
At present, the European Council and the Parliament have reached an interim agreement on EU waste legislation, recognizing the benefits of bioplastics, which has been appreciated by the European Association of Bioplastics Industry (EUBP).
The EUBP press release pointed out that the new legislation recognizes: Plastic packaging of bio-based raw materials and biodegradable plastics from different bio-waste recycling are beneficial to waste management and help reduce the environmental impact of plastic packaging. François de Bie stated, 'Bioplastics are recyclable. Both directives emphasize the prospect of renewable, biodegradable biomaterials for plastic packaging, which can form a European recycling economy.' He added: 'This new The key change in legislation is to support the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable resources.
The modified waste framework shows that biodegradable and compostable packaging is collected along with biowaste and used for industrial composting and anaerobic decomposition. By 2023, bio-dissociation will be forcibly separated across Europe. Degradable plastics have been proven to facilitate the collection of more bio-waste and eventually reach new recycling targets. Relevant European standards, such as the harmonization of industrial compostable plastic packaging Standard EN 13432, which can serve as the basis for future standards This will be outlined in the post-deliberation amendment.
The Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive recognizes that bioplastics not only help to reduce the environmental impact of plastic packaging but also reduce Europe's dependence on imported raw materials. The use of bio-based and renewable materials is equally viable solutions that enable packaging to last Although Member States are encouraged to promote the use of bio-based recyclable packaging and compostable packaging, European legislators have not taken specific legislative measures to stimulate their use and missed the opportunity to improve the market conditions for these products.
