Malaysian Plastic Circularity Series - World Bank Group

We are now just a couple of months away from a key moment in the EU’s circularity journey. By the end of the year, the European Commission is expected to publish its EU Circular Economy Act, an initiative that aims to help Europe achieve its ambition of becoming a world leader in the circular economy by 2030. This is an important next step in a broader journey. Over recent years, the EU has put in place a robust regulatory framework for circularity, including through the Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
