33 European industry associations urge the EU to adopt rules to calculate chemically recycled content in plastics.
Cefic, alongside 32 European Industry Associations calls for an EU-harmonized rule for calculating chemically recycled content through mass balance. Urgent legal certainty on mass balance chain of custody is indispensable to unleash the investments in chemical recycling infrastructure required for the European plastics system to meet the EU's 2050 climate and circularity targets. Therefore, Cefic calls on the European Commission to use the Single Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) Implementing Act as a legal basis to adopt EU rules enabling the use of a mass balance credit method with a fuel-use exempt model to calculate the chemically recycled content in plastics.
