lpv:spoken text	"The European Strategy on Plastic Waste in the Environment is Parliament’s response to the Commission’s green paper on plastic waste, which recommends specific measures for this type of waste in EU legislation. Currently, 79% of our plastic waste is sent for landfill or incineration, instead of being recycled. I voted in favour of the report in the hope that this wastefulness can be curtailed and that our resources can be used and disposed of in a more environment-friendly way. I was pleased to see moves towards phasing out the worst kinds of plastic, which are not biodegradable and are damaging to the environment, by 2020. I believe the success of the 5p charge for carrier bags in Wales has shown that the public backs waste reduction, and I hope to see this initiative rolled out across Europe."@en1
