🤦 In Germany, you can label #plastic cutlery and cups as #reusable and keep selling it despite the 🇪🇺 #SingleUse Plastic Directive that went into force in 2021. This highlights that new regulation only makes sense if accompanied by compliance mechanisms!

April 22 is EARTH DAY.
Singleuse plastic is an enormous problem. Only 5% to 6% of plastics are recycled worldwide. Most end up in landfills, leaching microplastics into our air, soil, water, food and ultimately in almost every part of the human body, including the lungs, brain, liver, kidneys
