♻️ Recycling Industry Declaration♻️

Official introduction of the Recycling Industry Declaration will take place on 16 September at the Conference section of the Central European Plastics Meeting 2025.

INDUSTRY STATUS:

Plastics recyclers across Europe are facing a crisis. Bankruptcies are rising. Demand is stagnating. Selling prices are low, whilst the cost of waste material and energy is high. Cheap recycled materials of uncertain qualitiy from outside Europe are flooding the market—undermining local recyclers and jeopardizing EU 2030 goals. 

KEY DECLARATION DEMANDS:

• Mandatory use of recyclates for specific products from 1 January 2026.
• Ban sea-transported recycled imports from outside Europe.
• Harmonized and increased state aid to level the playing field across EU states.
• Revision of the 2030 regulation on contact-sensitive polyolefins – suspend until feasible.

To offer immediate help for the Central European Plastics Recyclers, we are taking the initiative to make the use of recyclates compulsory for certain plastic products from 2026. We prepare a detailed list of products that could be produced from recycled materials at a high ratio.
Below are the products for which we already established the proper recycled content for.
