## What the amendments focus on

This dossier is a directive on reducing the impact of certain plastic products on the environment. Amendments target single-use plastic products and fishing gear containing plastic, with extended producer responsibility schemes, the polluter-pays principle, separate collection targets for beverage bottles, consumer marking and information, and consumption-reduction measures supporting the transition to a circular economy; several debate the definition of plastic and whether natural polymers and bioplastics are excluded.
