National coordination for a sustainable plastic use – incl "roadmap"

Published on December 9, 2019

National coordination for a sustainable plastic has produced a roadmap for sustainable plastic. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency’s roadmap provides an overall picture and a guide for where we are going and what we mean by sustainable use of plastics. The roadmap was developed as part of the government assignment to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to provide National Plastics Coordination. The purpose of the National Plastics Coordination is to demonstrate the importance of society’s efforts and opportunities for combining efforts to jointly achieve a societal transition in the use of plastics.

The Swedish EPA’s roadmap for the sustainable use of plastics is intended to create a unified understanding of what changes are needed and which areas for development are particularly important to work with. The roadmap should also inspire others to take action. The roadmap is based on existing legislation, strategies, goals and action plans at national, EU and international levels. It presents the targets, the necessary changes for achieving these targets and the development areas that enable these changes.
