Success! EU Microplastic Ban Regulation Drives Innovation in Biodegradable Alternatives | Happy Eco News
EU microplastic ban regulations introduced through REACH in 2023 are transforming how industries use plastics. The comprehensive rules phase out microplastics from cosmetics, detergents, and agricultural products by 2035, pushing companies to develop biodegradable alternatives. Major corporations and startups are responding with innovative solutions that break down naturally while maintaining performance.

This is such a dangerous document: conflating trillion-dollar centralised platforms with federated and, possibly in the future, peer-to/peer platforms or even personal web sites is one of most braindead policy suggestions I’ve ever read (and I’ve read quite a few).

Forever-chemical firms continue forever EU lobbying | Corporate Europe Observatory
It's been exactly a year since the revelations of the Forever Lobbying Project about both the devastating impacts of forever chemicals (or PFAS), and the corporate influence campaign that has kept these harmful substances in our food, water, soil, and bodies.

Hmm, I can imagine a few extra non-technical issues with this scheme for the next 3 years or so...
