The three big institutions of the EU have today (17 November) agreed to a timetable to end polluting exports of plastic waste to some countries. Following several months of negotiations on the EU Waste Shipment Regulation, the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of the EU reached an agreement in the early hours of this morning. Their decision proposes to stop sending the bloc’s plastic waste to countries which are not members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in two-and-a-half years’ time.
