As announced in Annex III to the ‘Plastics Strategy’, an EU-wide pledging campaign for the uptake of recycled plastics is taking place. As part of this campaign, the European Commission calls on stakeholders to come forward with voluntary pledges to boost the uptake of recycled plastics.

The Commission has observed that there is a lot of interest from all the industrial and non-industrial actors in the various plastics value chains to be part of this exercise. Given the high level of ambition of the exercise, as well as the workload that this exercise generates for those who are committing, the
Commission has decided to grant additional time for submitting voluntary pledges. The new deadline is 30 September 2018.

As soon as we have a final draft, it will be shared with all our members.
