for plastics packaging, and are today calling for a target of 30% for plastics packag- ing by 2030.” PlasticsEurope is backing
mandatory recycled content in packaging in support of polymer producers that have
started chemical recycling projects to reprocess mixed plastics waste. It said: “Ramping up chemical recycling is essential to achieve such a mandatory target. For example, our members’
recommends major changes including eco-design innovation and new infra- structure. “We must also ensure recycled content is derived from all ‘waste mate- rials’ through a technology- neutral approach that includes both mechanical and chemical recycling, with a credible mass balance framework,” it said. �
