General Scheme of the Circular Economy Bill 2021: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Mindy O'Brien:
I do not know if they have the same type of problem over there. I have not researched it in terms of whether they have three different standards. I just know I have seen oxo-degradable here. This is now banned under single-use plastic directive. I have seen these green forks that say degradable on them. They are no more degradable than the computer monitor.
