HEJSupport co-signed a joint NGO letter urging the European Commission to prioritize the plastics and polymers sector in the first Working Plan of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). This step is critical to improving the environmental sustainability of plastic products early in their lifecycle, addressing harmful additives, reducing pollution, and fostering a circular economy.
The letter highlights the significant environmental impact of plastic and polymer production and emphasizes the need for a holistic strategy to address plastic pollution. By prioritizing these materials, the EU can take a major step towards minimizing its environmental footprint and effectively tackling the plastic pollution crisis.
