Products or materials made of fragmentable plastic
Ban on fragmentable plastics in agriculture
The article in question aims to:
- ban the use of products made of fragmentable plastic in agriculture (in particular oxo-fragmentable or photo-fragmentable plastics) in line with the objective to protect the soil and water;
- specify that the ban covers the import, storage for the purpose of sale, marketing, sale, free distribution or use of such products;
- define fragmentable plastics;
- consolidate this measure by including the ban in the Environmental Code under Title IV, Chapter I and under the section entitled ‘Design, production and distribution of waste-generating products’.
