Co-op calls for moratorium on oxo-degradable plastics
Co-op has called for a moratorium on oxo-degradable plastics, despite the health and environment impacts remaining unknown.
The convenience retailer’s call comes after the British Standards Institution (BSI) published a new specification which support the sale in UK markets of plastic materials that use additives to accelerates degradation.
While oxo-degradable plastics will be banned across the EU from next year, very similar plastics are set to be allowed in the UK despite health and environmental implications being as yet unknown.
