In an effort to cut its waste in half by 2030, the European Union (EU) has developed a new plan that will focus on recycling textiles, batteries and packaging.
Under the EU’s “Green Deal,” the European Commission will present initiatives aimed at prolonging the life of products and encourage consumers to seek repairs for electronics. Reuters reports that France has taken the lead with last month’s adoption of the country’s first anti-waste law, which will ban all disposable plastics by 2040.
