Hi Kim, interesting read. I applaud Eunomia's call for best practice, or standardized measurements of recycling. It will be interesting to see what is proposed and how that will likely still need to vary from country to country. As we know, from a sustainability perspective different countries must have the latitude to do what is best practice for them under the three pillars of sustainability: environment, economy, people. Additionally, plastics recycling is still very much in it's infancy, with most materials down-cycled. Let's also not forget that waste reduction should also be our first consideration.
