Paragraph 5
5. Believes that the most dangerous plastics, those that are the most disruptive to human health and the environment (such as micro- and oxo-biodegradable plastics) and those which contain heavy metals that can also make recycling processes more difficult, should be phased out of the market or banned outright, as soon as possible before 2020, starting as a priority in those territories that the EU Member States have declared to be protected areas and/or national parks; also believes that, as demanded by a majority of European citizens (and consumers), it is finally time to phase out or ban single-use, non- biodegradable and non-compostable plastic products, also before 2020, starting as a priority in those territories that the EU Member States have declared to be protected areas and/or national parks;
