The EU plastics recycling industry is in dire need for a revitalisation.
 

To support a level playing field for EU recyclers, the EU Commission unveiled a first set of circularity package ahead of the upcoming Circular Economy Act, expected by the end of 2026
  

What does this package entail 

• New harmonised rules, common quality criteria to create a level playing field across the Single Market.
• New rules for calculating, verifying, and reporting recycled content in polyethylene terephthalate (PET) single-use plastic beverage bottles will  for the first time, cover chemically recycled content.
• New customs codes to distinguish imports of recycled materials from virgin plastics. Stricter monitoring of imports and audits of recycling installations outside the EU
