12 May 2023 --- Zero Waste Europe (ZWE) has published a study examining the consequences of different approaches to allocating recycled content in plastic. The study finds that proportional allocation has the greatest potential for measuring environmental impact. National and European policymakers should implement regulation ensuring that mechanical methods remain the primary recycling option for maximum CO2 reduction and circularity score, stresses ZWE’s Chemical Recycling and Plastic-to-Fuels policy officer Lauriane Veillard. PackagingInsights discusses the report findings and its possible policy and industry implementations with Veillard.
