So, the EU is stepping up its game against cheap plastic imports while recycling plants are closing faster than my attempts at a New Year’s resolution. How is it that we’re about to check imports more rigorously while the very places meant to recycle these plastics are shutting down? It's like throwing a party and then deciding to lock the door on the way in. I mean, really, who needs a functioning recycling industry when you can just pile up all that plastic in the oceans, right? Good luck to the fish trying to figure out if they’re swimming in a sea or a plastic soup! What do you all think? Is this a smart move or just another case of "too little, too late"? https://www.ft.com/content/9354d4d5-9e5f-4ab0-94f4-e2819c59366c #PlasticProblems #RecyclingReality #EUBureaucracy #EnvironmentallyChallenged
