Plastics Europe plans measures for transition to circularity
Plastics Europe has released a report written by UK research group Systemiq about the plastics industry’s transition to circularity in Europe. It has also proposed measures including “a new and enabling policy frame- work that better incentivises investment and innovation by fostering a climate of creative competition”. The report, which is called
“ReShaping Plastics: Pathways to a Circular, Climate Neutral Plastics System in Europe”, was developed by Systemiq with the support of an independ-
ent Steering Committee and Expert Panel that included representatives of EU institutions, NGOs, academia and industry. The study’s aim was to evaluate current progress and assess the potential of different levers to help transition towards the EU’s net zero carbon emissions and circularity goals by 2050. Plastics Europe said the
report “highlights the need for all up- and down-stream levers to be engaged, including mechanical and chemical recycling, the use of alternative raw materials
such as bio feedstocks, and designing products for recycling and reuse”. A new and enabling
environment for the transition to circularity must make available high-quality feedstock and access to affordable renewable and low carbon energy, it said. The group’s plans include: n Developing a roadmap for Plastics Europe and its members to accelerate the industry’s transition towards 2050. This will include interim targets and policy recommendations. n Ensuring all Plastics
Europe policy positions are designed to accelerate the plastics’ system’s transition towards higher circularity and net zero emissions by 2050. This includes the need for transformation of upstream and downstream GHG reduction and circular- ity levers. n Exploring the creation of a new multi-stakeholder platform in 2022, to ensure a step-change in the intensity and effectiveness of dialogue and collabora- tion with policy makers and the plastics value chain. �
