Model and landmark in the circular economy<\/strong>. Updated data on the evolution ofcircular economy<\/strong> in Italy they photograph our country among the most efficient in Europe. Second ASviS<\/a>, the Italian Alliance for Sustainable Development, in 2017 the share of subjects<\/strong> prime<\/strong> retracted<\/strong> and re-entered<\/strong> in the economic system it was 17.7%, against a European average of 11%. Compared to Goal 12<\/strong>, that is the objective on the "Consumption and responsible production" of2030 Agenda<\/a><\/strong> of the UN (which includes 17 overall goals), Italy has made significant progress in recent years, settling in second position, behind the Netherlands. With regard to the proper waste recycling<\/strong>, the good practice has spread more and more, reaching, in 2019, close to the 50% of correctly recovered waste. Much has been done, but much still remains to be done especially with regard to the production of garbage, still excessive along the boot: in 2019 at the per capita level, 5 quintals were produced (an increase compared to previous years).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Circular economy: the role of plastic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Among the many areas of ecological transition<\/strong> a central role will be played, for example, by how the use of plastic will evolve. As ASviS explained in the report on "The national recovery and resilience plan<\/a>"Published in March 2021," the postponement of the entry into force of the plastic<\/strong> tax<\/strong> it is not to be considered positive from the point of view of Goal 12 \u00bb. For the tax on plastic packaging, the extension to 1 July 2021 was confirmed in the budget law. According to the ASviS, it will become increasingly important "to encourage the reduction of the production of packaging waste, promoting recycling and circular economy also linked to the use of certified raw materials for the sustainable management of resources \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European action plan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The plastic emergency<\/strong> was also accepted as a priority at the European level where, as highlighted in a publication<\/a> of Ispra (the Higher Institute for Environmental Protection and Research, subject to the supervision of the Ministry of Ecological Transition), it emerges how much plastic (and its use) are central elements of action plan<\/a> community oncircular economy<\/strong>. "Over the last 50 years - reads the document - the role and importance of plastic in our economy have grown steadily" with production "increased by twenty times compared to the 1960s". <\/p>\n\n\n\n
