What exactly do you define as "legally innovative"? It's just a new rule addressing an issue. That's sounds like just boring ass regular government stuff that gets done every day.
It's innovative in that the EU is the only jurisdiction that has required it to date. It's an innovation then. It's not technologically complicated, but it requires the legal frameworks to actually get it done. Most of the world does a very poor job controlling littler. The EU does better. Good job, EU.

Again, that's not what innovation mean. They just passed a law to solve an issue. That's called basic governance.

Legal frameworks? You mean like, a legislature? And laws?
My guy, I think you're trying to sound a little smart here, but you're just describing basic law making. We've had that for thousands of years my dude.

Doing a good job at something is not synonymous with innovation, it's just doing a good job.
I don't think you're very clear on what innovation actually means.

Tethered bottle caps have been a thing since the 1980s, the EU is just mandating them. That's not particularly innovative.
