ALL companies to use 100% recycled plastic.Failure incurs incrimental added tax.
The World's oceans & marine life are being adversely effcted by plastic waste, now in our own food chain & increasingly effecting our own future.This will eventually effect sustainability & also living standards of people around the world who earn a living from the oceans on which we all depend.
New recent report assertains majority of major companies & corporations worldwide use <7% recycled plastic in newly produced packaging for their products. VERY evident in particular with major soft drink companies.Pressure to recycle more is resisted by these World players but what is the cost to us all & the planet as a whole?Bringing increased value to recycled plastic would increase the monetary value of recyclable waste, thereby incentivising the whole process to recycle more on everyone!
