Chemical Recycling – 7 steps to effectively legislate on chemical recycling

Joint statement

An increasing number of projects and policies appear to be promoting chemical recycling, while the technologies are still surrounded by many uncertainties, including on their impacts. It is therefore key to uphold the precautionary principle and put in place the right policy framework to regulate those technologies and their corresponding outputs, so as to avoid a scenario whereby chemical recycling becomes a loophole preventing the achievement of objectives related to the EU circular economy, climate and sustainable chemical policies.
