Subject: RE: Plastics Recyclers Europe (PRE): Plastics recyclers survival hinges on the
uptake of recyclates
Dear Commissioner Sinkevičius,
Dear Ms. Petrova,
I hope this email finds you safe and well. I am writing you regarding the post-corona virus
Recovery Package, and the relevance to consider the recycling of plastic waste as a pillar
from where to reboot the economy and the way we handle waste, to continue boosting
the achievements of the circular economy.
I am writing you to support this idea, by taking into considerations the below facts in the
view of reaching the EU recycling targets:
Socio-economic implications of the sector
- The analyses in [1) and [2] consider the plastic recycling industry a growing segment
that could potentially absorb job losses. In [2], considering the 2008 economic
crisis, it was estimated that nearly 50,000 new jobs would be created directly in
the recycling value chain of plastics by 2020, with over 75,000 additional indirect
jobs supporting the sector and its operations. By 2025, 80,000 direct jobs and
120,000 indirect jobs.
- Plastic waste recycling will generate in Europe each year from 2025 between 0.5
and 1 billion €/year if the new targets are to be achieved.
Environmental implications
- High environmental benefits, in terms of GHG emissions savings, demonstrate the
significant contribution of plastic recycling in improving the sustainability of the
EU-28 while at the same time safeguarding precious resources within the EU
economy, making it more resilient to external pressures. Increased recycling
performance, by fulfilling EU existing and proposed targets, could save up to 8
Mt of GHG emissions per year by 2020 and up to 13 Mt by 2025
