Some of the most ambitious thinking on EPR isn't coming from Europe. Small Island Developing States are exploring systems that integrate prevention, reuse, deposit return and local value creation from the start. Innovation doesn't always follow size. 🌍 #EPR #SIDS #CDS #CircularEconomy

The latest developments in the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations have left many wondering whether ambition is slipping just when we need it most. But around the world, progress isn't waiting. share.sender.net/campaigns/h0... #PPWR #EPR #Reuse #PlasticPollution #ProductStewardship

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we took inspiration from @ingerandersen.bsky.social and @unep.org and decided to get down. If global temperatures go past 1.5°C, we need to bring them back down, fast. The good news is that you can cut CO2 in your business NOW. How low can you go? #NowForClimate

Zero waste starts on your plate. A Packaging should cut food waste, not excuse overuse. B More plastic ≠ less waste. C The real win is circular design: reuse, smarter logistics, better forecasting and shorter supply chains. Let’s stop using “food waste” to justify overpackaging. 💡 #ZeroWasteDay

Belgium can set the pace for Europe. Strong packaging rules are overdue and vital for resilience as supply chains face global turbulence. Circularity is not just sustainable but strategic. Let’s back policymakers holding the line and push for EU‑wide ambition. 🌍 #CircularEconomy #PPWR

As the world shifts towards renewables, oil companies have a Plan B—plastic production. By 2050, nearly 50% of global oil demand could come from plastics. We can’t let that happen. Circular solutions = lower energy, less CO2, and no Plan B for fossil fuels. #WorldEnergyDay

Behavioral chains: To reduce #plastic use, we sometimes need to remove the choice. If single-use is still available, old habits persist. Remove the option, make reusable the default, and drive lasting change. Or, do we need to handcuff you to your #reusable bags? 😉 #behavioralchange #sustainable
