PlasticsEurope yesterday (9 September) announced its support for the European Commission’s (EC) proposal for a mandatory EU recycled content target for plastics packaging, and called for the target to be set at 30 per cent by 2030.
PlasticsEurope has also emphasised that an enabling policy framework and collaboration with the value chain would be essential to reaching targets, highlighting the need for new systems thinking, mindset and behavioural changes, higher-performing products, eco-design innovation and new infrastructure.
