EuRIC plastics recyclers publish roadmap for industry competitiveness and innovation EuRIC’s Plastics Recycling Branch (EPRB) has published a roadmap on the future of the European plastics recycling industry, as the latter is currently grappling with extremely low demand for recycled materials and with unfair competition from third countries that threaten circularity in Europe. https://lnkd.in/dCJTUc6G

Our Secretary-General Jens-O. Kathmann has been participating in the annual meeting of Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE), where over 200 members and invited partners from the plastics recycling industry gather in Cascais, Portugal, this week. The #polystyrene session covers #recycling market trends, experiences in sorting and recycling PS and EPS from household plastic packaging waste, risks and opportunities for the PS and EPS Market in Europe, and regulatory updates. - Event details: https://lnkd.in/e9-eBHVx #circulareconomy

Join our livestream to discuss the challenges and opportunities for the European plastics recycling industry ahead of this year’s Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE) Plastics Recycling Show Europe

"PRS Europe is now firmly established as a destination event for the plastics industry from across Europe and beyond,” said Matt Barber, global events director at Crain Communications. Plastics Recycling Show Europe https://lnkd.in/e9XQj7ac

With a horde of over 8,000 MEPs, https://lnkd.in/daMeBirQit should be quick and easy. 19 MEPs per million inhabitants compared to 2 in China and 1.6 in the USA. If the sector is not protected quickly, many companies could disappear. #packagingeurope

Many thanks to Plastics Recyclers Europe for inviting DeepView4P to the annual meeting held in Cascais, where I had the opportunity to present 'How the Perfect Storm is Reshaping the Plastics Industry' and 'Polystyrene Market Risks & Opportunities,' as well as attend many other highly interesting presentations. Here is my summary of the two-day event: 👉 Over the past few years, European recyclers have expanded their production capacities to meet growing demand. 👉 However, Europe faces very high energy, environmental, bureaucratic, and tax costs, which place it at a competitive disadvantage compared to other regions of the world. 👉 Operating at a disadvantage in a free global market is highly risky, as significant quantities of recycled products from other countries are starting to enter the market. European recyclers are beginning to face serious financial difficulties ➡️ If the European Commission does not urgently protect this industry, we could face significant challenges in transitioning to a #circulareconomy #plasticsrecycling #plastics

Orlando Florida, The NPE Plastics Show. It's huge! Did you know at least 50% of the world's plastic production is for 'single use'? Did you know that at least one third of all plastic produced has been produced in the last 10 years? I'm working with the Global Commercial Team with Patty Mishic O'Brien and Fernando Barrientos (in absentia) this week crafting a skilful team to make the amazing UBQ Materials available to the world's plastics manufacturers. UBQ Material is made from domestic household waste: 70 - 80 million tons annually goes into landfill in the US alone! The first large plant in the Netherlands will be taking household waste there (which otherwise would have gone into incineration and making a recyclable plastic - a high quality substitute for petrochemical based plastics. It's economically competitive and being eyed with interest by Mercedes Benz and Pepsicola I'm told. Come and meet the team on stand S18027! Or connect with any of the senior team Albert Douer, Jack (Tato) Bigio, Patty Mishic O'Brien #wastedisposal #circularity #sustainablewastemanagement #innovationleadership

As Europe’s share of global plastics production is feared to have halved over 20 years, Plastics Recyclers Europe is among the stakeholders calling for the European Union to regulate its virgin and recycled plastic imports and address high energy costs Click here to read: https://lnkd.in/e-XdrBv6 To get access to exclusive premium content, become a Packaging Europe member: https://lnkd.in/em_Jz4_Q Follow our hashtag to stay up to date with the latest packaging news: #PackagingEurope
