Nordic programme to reduce environmental impact of plastic

In the future, plastic should be produced, used and recycled in a circular process that presents no risks to health or the environment. This is the vision set out in the Nordic programme to reduce the environmental impact of plastic, in which the environment ministers plot a course toward more sustainable use and recycling of plastic.
The programme is a strategic tool. It builds on previous work on plastics, encourages Nordic synergies and raises awareness and the level of knowledge about plastics in the Region. In particular, the ministers highlight the challenge posed by marine waste and the role played by plastic in the circular economy (News Item Nordic co-operation, 2 May 2017).
