DW, Germany - The EU executive unveiled plans to make all plastic packaging in the bloc recyclable by 2030. Europeans produce 25 million tons of plastic waste annually, but less than 30 percent is recycled.
The EU is exploring high-tech solutions to plastic pollution but some experts are skeptical. They say there are simpler and more effective ways to keep our waters plastic-free and they are available now.
Over the past 12 months alone, different countries across the world have taken it upon themselves to restrict the sale, use and manufacture of day-to-day plastics. And there are more plans in the works.
