4th Episode- "Important EU legal acts in the sense of environmental protection‪"‬ PLASTECO - Curbing Plastic Waste & Littering in EU Regions

In the last two podcast episodes, we have learned what the plastic pollution crisis is all about and how each of us can live in a more eco-friendly and sustainable way and, with a little effort, how we can change our daily routine. Today we're going to focus more on theory and with the help of our today’s expert the attorney at law Mag. Elisabeth Moser-Marzi we'll take a look at the most important legal acts of the EU concerning our project topic, which are intended to solve the littering problem and the plastic crisis.

This episode will be anything but boring so make sure to tune in!
