📣 Calling all stakeholders across Canada's plastics packaging value chain who are interested in evaluating certification programs for post-consumer recycled content (PCR) in plastics packaging! Today, the Canada Plastics Pact has released its PCR Certification Principles. This guidance will help increase industry and public confidence in recycled content in plastic packaging claims and ensure the validity of PCR materials. Together, we can reduce our need for virgin plastic and drive the demand for packaging that contains recycled content. Learn how your business or organization can leverage this guide: https://lnkd.in/d3dsq42a #CircularEconomy #ZeroPlasticWaste #PCR #RecycledContent US Plastics Pact Ellen MacArthur Foundation WRAP #PlasticPackaging #Canada #PCRCertification #CanadaPlasticsPact

A report from the University of Birmingham’s Sustainable Plastics Policy Commission launched at the Houses of Parliament today focusing on policy efforts needed to strengthen the Plastic Packaging Tax and boost circularity. Our key takeaways: ❗️ Plastics are indispensable, but plastic pollution must end - we need to retain value while ending pollution ⚖️ Tax systems are needed to create business cases for circularity 🎯 Stronger targets and incentives to reduce incineration and landfill are needed 📈 Investments in chemical recycling are needed for end-of-life plastic waste streams 🔗 Read more about the report here: https://lnkd.in/diBGR53r

Let's act now to safeguard the European plastics recycling industry and achieve our environmental objectives. The challenge of plastic pollution in Europe requires a strong plastics recycling value chain. While EU institutions have made legislative progress, we must address the pressure on European recyclers in the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR). Allowing non-EU post-consumer plastics to count towards targets without control and verification mechanisms would harm an already struggling market. We need regional circularity and the proximity principle to manage waste closer to its source. Regulations promoting recycled content are essential, but without robust measures, they could lead to increased unverified imports.

🗝 5 strategic keys to unlock the potential of plastic recycling 🧴♻ The journey towards a sustainable, circular economy for plastics in the EU is accelerating, driven by pivotal legislation like the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) and the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). But to truly unlock the potential of plastic recycling, policymakers need to address critical areas outlined in the Plastics Recyclers Europe’s Manifesto. Discover the 5️⃣ strategic key pillars that will allow to position the plastic recycling industry as a cornerstone of a circular and decarbonised EU 👉 https://lnkd.in/gtPX_M53 #PPWR #ESPR #EUElections #PlasticsRecycling #MakingPlasticsCircular

💡 PPWR alert ahead of the final trilogue meeting next week Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation cannot be a game changer for plastic waste management in the EU without reassuring the European plastics recycling industry that we are serious about finding a solution for our own waste. Policymakers must ensure that the proximity principle – where waste is managed as close as possible to its place of production is maintained in their final proposal to keep the regional circularity perspective. Additional safeguards must be included as well: control and verification mechanisms, such as third-party audited certifications - and not self-declaration - what is a status quo of today. #PPWR #plasticrecyclers #plasticsrecycling #plasticpackaging #plasticrecyclerseurope #circulareconomy

🌎 The recent negotiations at INC 5 have concluded, with an agreement to continue discussions at the future session, INC 5.2. While significant progress has been made to the text since INC 4, the outcome of the negotiations did not result on an agreed treaty, delaying critical actions to end plastic pollution. ANZPAC’s lead organisation, Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), an official endorser of the Business Coalition, was proud to attend the event and remains committed to collaboratively driving action on the ground. Although the outcome was not in the best interest of achieving plastics circularity, it showcased significant progress and a drive for uncompromised global regulation. We continue to be inspired by those involved in, and in-support of, the ambitious treaty proposed, which would provide a real change in plastic waste prevention at its source. The restriction and mandated phase-out of problematic plastic products, and reduction of virgin plastic production is crucial to this, and requires regulation by governing bodies. The Pact Network is uniquely positioned to drive actions towards the prevention of plastic pollution and waste until an ambitious treaty comes to fruition.

India Opts to Regulate, Not Ban, Single-Use Plastics Ahead of U.N. Environmental Summit In preparation for the upcoming United Nations negotiations on global plastic pollution, set to take place in Toronto, India has declared a preference for regulating rather than outright banning single-use plastics. This stance is detailed in a report by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), a New Delhi-based nonprofit organization. Despite the Plastic Waste Management Amendment Rules (2021) that prohibit 19 types of single-use plastics, enforcement remains inconsistent across the country. These regulations exclude certain items like small plastic bottles and multi-layered packaging, which continue to be used. According to the CSE, these measures address only about 11% of the single-use plastics circulating in India. The forthcoming negotiations will cover various topics, including the reduction of "problematic and avoidable plastic products." Nations aim to remove these products from the market, encourage the use of non-plastic alternatives, and redesign items to adhere to sustainable and safe design standards. India's current draft document for the negotiations supports the regulation of these plastics based on "science-based criteria" rather than complete prohibition. This approach aligns closely with that of the United States, while the European Union favours more restrictive measures. The broader dialogue among the participating countries reflects diverse positions influenced by each nation's reliance on plastic production, recycling capabilities, and waste management infrastructure. The dialogue continues to evolve, with upcoming discussions in Canada marking the fourth round of negotiations since the UNEA's resolution to end plastic pollution in 2022.
