* _As part of a broader effort to create a circular economy that reduces waste 
   and greenhouse gas emissions, the European Union will ban a host of throwaway
   plastic items next month and is working to create an expansive and lucrative 
   market for recycled plastics_

The plastic trash on the beach

In Europe, beachgoers have grown accustomed to the dispiriting sight of plastic 
garbage strewn along shorelines. Indeed, 85 percent of the continent’s saltwater
beaches and seas exceed pollution standards on marine litter. The Mediterranean 
Sea is the most defiled of all, with researchers collecting an average of 274 pieces
of plastic refuse per 100 meters of shoreline. And beneath the waves, microplastics
have turned coastal waters into toxic “plastic soups.”

In an all-out push to clean up Europe’s beaches — one plank in the European Union’s
trailblazing efforts to address the almost 28 million tons of plastic waste it generates
annually — a ban comes into effect July 3 that halts the sale in EU markets of the
10 plastic products that most commonly wash up on the continent’s shores. These 
include, among other items, plastic bottle caps, cutlery, straws and plates, as 
well as Styrofoam food and beverage containers.

Europe’s new plastics economy dates back to the mid-1990s, when the principle of
extended producer responsibility was enshrined in _EU_ law. Extended producer responsibility(
EPR), argues a Zero Waste Europe paper, is “crucial to incentivize the redesign 
of products with circularity in mind … Ensuring producers bear 100 percent of the
cleanup costs will encourage the manufacturer to work with municipalities to ensure
high collection of their products.”

Also, in 2019 the EU adopted a directive that by 2025 all EU countries integrate
25 percent recycled plastic in clear plastic bottles and 30 percent in all plastic
beverage bottles by 2030. This mandatory minimum — already in force in Germany, 
Denmark and Norway — adds value to plastic waste, since plastic producers need it
and will pay for it.
