Recycling Plastic No-One Else Can

30%30% of plastic

recycled in the EU, 31% landfilled, 39%

incinerated

Growing momentum to tackle plastic waste :

1M+Every day more than

1 million tonnes of plastics are

produced worldwide

8M+Every year more

than 8 million tonnes of plastic

waste leaks into the ocean

14%Only around 14% of plastic packaging is recycled worldwide

Media campaign and awareness

China ban on plastic import

Policies to increase recycling and improve waste management

A GROWING PROBLEM – PLASTIC WASTE

*Given that 37% of plastic waste is sent abroad for‘recycling’, only 19.5% of EU plastic collected is recycledinside the EU.

Plastic collection and recycling in the EU

27.1 MT of plastic collected

8.4 MT of plastic recycled (31%)

5.3 MT of plastic recycled

within theEU*

China ban divert plastic waste export to countries with even less infrastructure

PLASTIC ENERGY 2019

• These countries are starting to close their doorson plastic waste.

• Despite dedicating funds to waste management,higher income countries prefer divert the burdenof dealing with their plastic waste onto developingmarkets with less infrastructure, less wastemanagement framework, less funds dedicated.

RECYCLING OR EXPORTING?

<600,000 Tonnes of plastic export from the UK in 2018

Difficult to replacePlastic recycled (EU)

Plastic Energy with its technology produces an optimal feedstock (TACOIL) used for making new plastic and create a circular economy, or used as an alternative fuel with a low carbon footprint.

Chemical recycling complements mechanical recycling and overcome some of its challenges.

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS.

The EU is the principal market for recycling as many supportive policies are in place to encourage more circular management and recycling.

Very ambitious recycling rates for plastics (Circular Economy Package)

55% 10% 65%

Plastic packaging to be recycled by 2030.

Maximum amount of municipal waste landfilled by 2035

Recycling target for municipal waste by 2035

Recognition of chemical recycling andcreation of a supportive framework tofully exploit its potential

Chemical Recycling recognised as‘Recycling’ in the EU Waste Hierarchy

Harmonisation of policies on collection& segregation systems

Lifting the discrepancies betweenREACH/end-of-waste

Facilitating the access to the plasticand discouraging plastic waste export

NO POLICY FRAMEWORK YET FOR CHEMICAL RECYCLING.

What do we need to encourage chemical recycling?
