EC launches Circular Plastics Alliance to curb plastic wastes, promote recycling

The European Commission has recently launched an alliance of key industry stakeholders covering the full plastics value chain as part of its persisting efforts to reduce plastics littering, increase the share of recycled plastics and stimulate market innovation.

promote recycling
Against the backdrop of the Commission's efforts to help accelerate Europe's transition towards a circular economy, the Circular Plastics Alliance will aim to improve the economics and quality of plastics recycling in Europe. The Alliance will strengthen the match between supply and demand for recycled plastics which is identified as the main obstacle to a well-functioning EU market of recycled plastics. With this new initiative, the Commission wants to contribute to the objective of achieving at least 10 million tonnes of recycled plastics into new products on the EU market by 2025 as set in the European Strategy for Plastics.

The Circular Plastics Alliance will be a high-level, multi-stakeholder platform gathering key industry stakeholders covering the full plastics value chain – from waste collectors to recyclers and primary producers to converters, brand owners and retailers -including in particular packaging, construction and automotive sectors.

The first meeting of the Circular Plastics Alliance will be organised as part of the EU Industry Dayson February 2019. A series of operational meetings on the key topics identified by the Alliance at their first meeting will take between March and May 2019.
