Recent revisions of recycled content targets from major brands have led to questions about just how committed companies are to reducing their consumption of virgin plastic - but what are the underlying issues behind such decision? In this third episode of Sustainably Speaking, ICIS' Senior Executive, Business Solutions Group John Richardson is joined by Mark Victory and Matt Tudball, Senior Editors for Recycling  Europe, and Helen McGeough, Global Analyst Team Lead for Plastic Recycling at ICIS to dive deeper into this topic.

  • The impact of regulation on the US and European markets
