The State Committee for Standardization of the Republic of Belarus has approved a Program for the development of state standards of the Republic of Belarus in the field of establishing requirements for packaging, ensuring the possibility of its processing after loss of consumer properties.
The program provides for the development of 22 state standards, harmonized with international and regional (European) ones. They will establish requirements for determining the capacity for complete aerobic biodegradation of plastic materials, determining the degree of their decomposition, reuse of packaging material, principles of analysis of microplastics present in the environment, assessment of the maximum aerobic biodegradation of packaging materials, as well as paper bags for municipal waste collection.
The implementation of the Program will contribute to the reduction of waste unsuitable for recycling, reducing environmental pollution, which will make an important contribution to the achievement by the Republic of Belarus of the Sustainable Development Goals 12, 13 and the other SDGs.
