Listen Later

Join John Richardson, ICIS senior executive, business solutions group, in Episode 4 of Sustainably Speaking along with Mark Victory and Matt Tudball, senior editors for recycling Europe, and Helen McGeough, global analyst team lead for plastic recycling as they discuss the European Commission's proposals to allow mass balance for chemical recycling using a fuel-exempt accounting approach under the Single Use Plastics Directive (SUPD), and what this means for the wider recycling world.

Plus, how amendments in the draft Implementing Decision allow for recyclate from outside the EU to count towards the 25% recycled content for polyethylene terephthlate (PET) beverage bottles, as well as whats going on in the wider world of recycling. 

Some questions answered during this episode: 

  • Why is this draft Implementing Decision on mass balance so important, and what does ‘fuel-exempt’ mean? 
  • Will this increase investment in chemical recycling in Europe and what happens if other regions go for a ‘free allocation’ approach?
  • What’s the impact on global operators working in different markets?
  • Can recyclate made from post-consumer plastic waste placed on third country markets count towards recycled content targets?
  • What does a ‘level playing field’ for Europe look like?
  • Will there be a sudden acceleration of chemical recycling projects as Europe’s crackers close?
  • Is chemical recycling the solution for mass-scale food contact for polyolefins in Europe by 2030?
