[Abstract] :
For our modern economy, plastic represents an important and ubiquitous material with multiple functions. However, with the rapid rise in plastic production over the last decades, our ecological systems face serious problems related to plastic waste. As a response to mounting pressure to take action against plastic pollution, on January 2018 the EU adopted its First Strategy on Plastics aimed at changing the way plastic products are designed, used, produced and recycled in the EU. The strategy is part of the European Union's transition towards a circular economy. The strategy not only aims at protecting the environment, reducing marine litter and greenhouse gas emissions but also seeks to ease the dependence on fossil fuels by supporting more sustainable consumption and production patterns for plastics.
