As governments around the world increasingly recognize the environmental, social, and health impacts of single-use plastic waste, Government are regulating its production and disposal. The result is an ever-changing landscape of regulations for plastic manufacturers to navigate. These new rules are aimed at preventing and reducing the impact of certain plastic products on the environment, particularly in the marine environment, and on human health. These are also promoting the transition to a circular economy with innovative and sustainable business models, products and materials. These are helping to improve the management, recycling, and final disposal of such products.
