RT @EU_ENV: 🆕 Our new #CircularEconomy Package is out!

Today, we proposed new EU-wide rules to put an end to wasteful packaging, while boosting reuse and recycling ♻️🌱

This is our plan to make Europe's economy more circular, clean & fair: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_22_7155

3️⃣ All packaging should be easy to recycle, made as much as possible from recycled material.

🟢 A single label for all packaging will tell you how and in which bin to recycle it.
🟢 Member States will have to implement deposit return schemes for plastic bottles and metal cans.

2️⃣ We need more #ReUse. Because we cannot recycle ourselves out of a growing stream of waste.

🟢 From 2030 food or drinks consumed on site must be offered on reusables.
🟢 From 2040 80% of coffees-to-go will come in a reusable cup - or in your own.

1️⃣ We reduce packaging where it makes sense:

🟢 Limits on overpackaging for e-commerce
🟢 Unwrapped fruits and vegetables
🟢 No miniature shampoos in hotels

We all know the examples: your online order comes in a half-empty but massive box, or you eat at a cafe and get served in single-use containers, leaving behind a mountain of waste.
 
Such overpackaging is a nuisance to us and damaging to our environment.

A few years ago, the Commission set out to make plastics fully circular, limiting and even banning some of the most polluting #SingleUsePlastics🥤🍴🥡
  
Today we take the next step by putting the entire packaging sector firmly on track towards circularity 📦♻️

RT @EU_Commission: 🙅 Waste no more.

A packaging waste solution is here – with our new proposals to:

RT @EUClimateAction: To keep temperature rise to 1.5°C, we must remove carbon already out there in addition to cutting emissions.

We need carbon removals: natural or industrial activities that remove CO2 from the atmosphere.

Tomorrow, we'll present our 🇪🇺 Certification of Carbon Removals proposal.

Too many women worldwide suffer terrible violence by men and boys on a power trip.

Men should be held accountable and face justice, our boys raised to understand that violence is unacceptable.

Women need all our solidarity, support and empowerment.

#COP27 is in overtime. The EU is united in our ambition to move forward and build on what we agreed in Glasgow. Our message to partners is clear: we cannot accept that 1.5C dies here and today.

The EU has presented a proposal that could see #COP27 agree to a #lossanddamage fund - targeted to the most vulnerable, reflecting the financial realities of 2022. It must go hand-in-hand with higher ambition on emissions reductions.

Here’s what I told the press this morning 👇

Great to meet president-elect @LulaOficial in the margins of #COP27.

We had a long talk about future opportunities for further 🇪🇺-🇧🇷 cooperation, including on halting #deforestation and Brazil's candidacy for #COP30.

I look forward to our next meetings!
