EU allows chemically recycled plastic in bottle recycling targets, sparking debate over environmental impact.
EU nations have agreed to count chemically recycled plastic toward mandatory recycled content targets for single-use bottles, expanding beyond mechanically recycled plastic.
The move, backed by the European Commission, supports investment in recycling infrastructure and addresses hard-to-recycle packaging, with clear rules for reporting.
However, environmental groups warn it may enable greenwashing due to the energy-intensive and potentially polluting nature of chemical recycling.
The policy change comes amid challenges in Europe’s recycling sector, including cheap plastic imports from Asia.
