We are working on many projects, more details of which are available on our website (minderoo.org). In the EU, Minderoo is advocating for laws and policies which end plastic waste leakage to our environment (both terrestrial and maritime) through increasing transparency in the plastic value chain, investing in new technology and innovations, and by working with industry to improve recycling and collection of plastic waste, reducing our use of plastic generated new from fossil fuel feedstocks.

Meetings
Meetings
5 meetings found. Download meetings
The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
