🌍 Local Solutions to Global Waste: The New EU Plastic Export Ban 🚫
29th November 2023
The European Union have announced their decision to ban the export of waste plastic to non-OECD countries. This decision underscores a crucial aspect of sustainable waste management – the need to address waste locally instead of shifting the burden across borders.
Transporting waste, especially internationally, significantly increases the carbon footprint of recycling. This move by the EU aligns with our philosophy at Enval Limited: tackling waste where it is. By managing waste locally, we can significantly reduce the environmental impact associated with transportation, making the recycling process more sustainable overall.
This policy change is a step towards a more responsible and environmentally conscious approach to waste management. It reinforces the importance of developing local solutions to handle waste, a principle that is at the core of our operations.
At Enval Limited, we’re committed to innovative, local solutions for waste management. By handling waste on-site, such as deploying our facilities in places like landfills, we not only make recycling processes more efficient but also contribute to a significant reduction in global carbon emissions.
As we transition to a more sustainable future, it’s critical to rethink our approach to waste management. Local solutions not only help in managing waste effectively but also play a vital role in protecting our planet.
