I have posted that post already few months ago, but because of the importance of the topic I guess it is worth to highlight it here again. As the ones of you who are active in the plastics and packaging business might of course know, in the planned PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) in the European Union is planned to set a mandatory recyclate content in plastic packaging. I'm normally not a big fan of too much regulation. But in this case I think it really makes sense. In my perspective such a mandatory recyclate content can significantly support and accelerate the transition to a circular economy for plastics. What is your opinion on that? #packaging #circulareconomy #recycling #plastics
