The two countries are also calling on exemptions for single-use formats that can demonstrate the best environmental outcome or in cases where economic operators can show a high separate collection rate of their packaging waste.

The same strategy as the tobacco industry...

Finland produces paper and Italy fears for their tourist industry. It has nothing to do with the environment. Surprise!
