Antonino Furfari - Plastics Recyclers Europe

Antonino Furfari from Plastics Recyclers Europe discusses what the European plastics recycling market needs most today: clear rules, stable market conditions and real demand for recyclates. The conversation covers the importance of recycled content targets, the priority of European waste and local circularity, as well as the need to unlock the investments required to meet the 2030 targets. Furfari emphasises that plastics recycling is not only an environmental issue. It is also part of an industrial strategy that affects the entire value chain – from collection and sorting, through recycling and converting, to brand owners placing products on the market. A stable market for recyclates can support European industry, jobs and greater raw material independence.
