ECOS | Environmental Coalition on Standards

ECOS Newsletter – November 2023

Plastic pollution is a growing environmental problem the world over. This month ECOS was in Nairobi, Kenya, for the third meeting of the UN Plastics Treaty negotiations - the first significant global cooperation to tackle plastic pollution. Read our thoughts from the meeting in our latest blog. We also supported a complaint to the European consumer authorities against potentially misleading recycling claims on single-use plastic water bottles. Consumers increasingly try to make environmentally conscious decisions – but misleading claims are not giving us the full picture and undermine our efforts to be circular.

ECOS is co-funded by the European Commission and EFTA Funded by the European Union. Views and opinions expressed are however those of the author(s) only and do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or EISMEA.
