Increase the plastic packaging recycling&recovery target from 57% to 80% by 2020

Petition Details

The Packaging Producer Responsibility Regulations framework is a positive step but targets do not reflect the urgency of our global plastic pollution crisis: producer target is 57% recycled or recovered by 2020. This is not enough.
