SUBJECT: Winter Energy Package to support the EU Circular Economy

ǡǡǡ
Ǥ
The undersigning associations are frontrunners for recycling a wide range of products, contributing
not only to resource efficiency and thus Europe’s resilience in raw material supply but also CO2
reductions. We understand these as core principles and objectives of a sustainable and circular
European economy.

Ǥ ǡ
we call on the
European Commission to urgently decide on measures to limit the exorbitant surge in gas and
electricity prices across the EUǤ
Ǥ
ǡ
we urge the European Commission and the Member States to consider the aluminium,
paper, and plastic recycling sectors to be eligible for Member States’ state aid and protect our critical
industries for Europe’s circular economy and decarbonisation policy objectives from the impact of
the high electricity and gas prices.
Measures such as gas supply guarantees for our recycling processes are pivotal for our industries to
continue operating and supplying the European market with low-carbon secondary raw materials.
