PACKAGING | ANALYSIS
packaging. For certain applications, such as beverage bottles and rigid trays, this is easier to achieve. Competition for high quality recycled materials in these product applications will undoubtedly rise. The Single-Use Plastics
Directive is stimulating design for recycling through EPR schemes. Eco-design principles will inform EPR fee modulation and assess what is recyclable and what hinders the process. Between €8.4bn and €16.6bn has been reported by Deloitte’s 2015 analysis of EU plastic recycling targets as the estimated investment required to meet the recycling goals set out by the Commission. Fees generated through EPR will
About the report
AMI Consulting’s study, Single-Use Plastic Packaging in Europe – Market magnitude in the convenience and retail channels and the regulatory context, published in September 2019, navigates through the present European legislation and discusses the impact each will have on the consumption of single-use plastic packaging in the European market. The report identifies and quantifies applications subject to policy framework changes and how they will be impacted. Order the report from AMI:

no doubt help develop recy- cling infrastructure and increase availability of recyclate, but unless the finished products of chemical recycling can be officially categorised as recycled content and therefore contribute to targets for recyclate inclu- sion, it is unlikely for recyclate to penetrate the flexible packaging market (including single-use packets and wrappers) to
the extent observed in rigid packaging. What is clear is that the
floodgates have well and truly opened. Whether by legislation or due to con- sumer pressure, the packag- ing industry is facing significant adjustment in the coming years. The undoubt- able outcome of the Single-Use Plastics Directive will be changes in material segmentation across the packaging industry that
promote more circular solutions. It is somewhat questionable how circular packaging can actually become in present circum- stances. Nonetheless, it is important to establish an array of packaging formats that are ready to be recycled so that a collaborative effort from industry and relevant authorities can be made to progress packaging towards the goals in the EU’s Plastics Strategy.
