As EU ministers come up with a European strategy to fight the scourge of plastic pollution in oceans across the world, a cross party group of Danish politicians has highlighted the actions that need to be taken. The Danish government is already taking part in a collaboration with fellow Nordic ministers of the environment in a two-year Nordic Plastic Programme to reduce the environmental impact of the material. In addition, it has decided to initiate its own programme.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a letter to members of the EU Commission, the politicians say that it is important that any plastic strategy contains effective measures to:
\n\u2022 Include society in the reduction of plastic pollution;
\n\u2022 Ban microplastic beads in personal care products;
\n\u2022 Reduce the overall waste generation and the single-use of certain plastic products like take-away food packaging;
\n\u2022 Increase recycling and the promotion of high quality and functional markets for used plastic materials;
\n\u2022 Secure a process that becomes a standard within nations to reduce microplastic in the environment.<\/p>\n
