This Plastic Bag Free Day, celebrated internationally on 3 July, discover how Cohesion Policy cooperation projects help cut plastic waste: from cleaner festivals to everyday reusable habits inspired by transnational cooperation.
Established in 2009, the International Plastic Bag Free Day raises awareness of single-use plastic bags’ environmental toll – with 1–5 trillion consumed globally each year, taking up to 1,000 years to decompose. How many plastic bags have you used this week? On 3 July, International Plastic Bag Free Day invites us to think twice before taking another disposable bag at the checkout. But reducing plastic waste doesn’t stop there.
