EU accounting methodology for recycled plastic content
The European Commission's proposed mass balance accounting methodology for calculating recycled plastic content does not align with the goals of the Single-Use Plastic Directive (SUPD) to ensure the circular use of plastics. We need a trustworthy, transparent and clear methodology, in line with the EU circular economy and competitiveness agenda, that will support of an actual reduction of virgin plastic use and respect the level playing field between different recycling technologies.
