EU: Polyolefin Circular Economy Platform (PCEP) launched

EuPC, PRE and PlasticsEurope have launched a new Polyolefin Circular Economy Platform (PCEP) through which the industry calls on all actors to join them in driving towards this goal.
The plastics industry recognises that a business as usual approach will not enable the proposed challenging target for 55% plastic packaging “preparing for re-use and recycling” target by 2025, as outlined in the European Commission’s Circular Economy Package. In the drive to create a more circular economy, fresh approaches and new thinking are required. Hence, this newly formed platform will be working for a 5-10 year horizon based on effective, science-based solutions (Press Release EuPC, 25 October 2016).
