Plastics Europe calls for support for low-carbon plastics in the EU

Plastics Europe calls for market-pull measures for low-carbon products and products from sustainable carbon sources under the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) to support European plastics value chains, including the introduction of Union origin requirements. These measures should strengthen Europe’s industrial base and accelerate the transition to a low carbon and circular economy.

Such measures to support market demand, including measures related to Union origin, must be thoroughly assessed before implementation, regularly reviewed and designed to complement – not replace – efforts to restore Europe's competitiveness.

In the case of Union origin requirements, these measures should encourage the use of plastics produced in Europe in finished products.
