YLE: Finland on track to fall short with effort to reduce plastic bag use

FINLAND is on track to fall short on yet another environmental target set by the EU, reports YLE.

The country is expected to reduce the annual consumption of plastic bags to no more than 40 bags per capita by the end of 2025. With Finns consuming an average of 55 bags in 2022, though, the target seems unattainable, according to the Ministry of the Environment.
