Are there any regulations on the use of biodegradable agricultural plastic in Europe?

Yes, there are regulations on the use of biodegradable agricultural plastic in Europe. The European Union has established directives and standards, such as the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive (94/62/EC) and the Waste Framework Directive (2008/98/EC), which aim to reduce waste and encourage the use of biodegradable materials. Additionally, specific standards like EN 13432 for packaging recovery define criteria for biodegradability. Member states may have their own regulations that align with or add to these EU directives. Compliance with these regulations is crucial for manufacturers and users of biodegradable plastics in the agricultural sector.
