In April 2015 ，Berlin, the European Parliament gave its final approval for the previously agreed legislation amending the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (PPWD) to reduce the use of conventional single use plastic shopping bags. European Bioplastics welcomes the decision as it recognises the benefits of compostable bags and paves the way for further development of EU-wide standardisation and labelling of compostability for a resource efficient Europe.
The new legislation obliges EU Member States to adopt measures to reduce the use of lightweight plastic bags by almost 50 percent by the end of 2019 and by 80 percent by the end of 2025 compared to 2010.
Against this background, European Bioplastics welcomes the PPWD’s endorsement of EN13432 as a biodegradation certification standard, and commits to further develop EU-wide standardisation of compostability and consistent labelling. The ‘Seedling’is an internationally recognized compostable label that is connected to the EN 13432/EN 14995 standards and the certification process managed by the independent institutions DIN CERTCO and Vincotte.
