Europe’s plastics recycling and post-consumer textile collection, preparing for reuse, and recycling industries are facing a deepening crisis that requires urgent political action.
EuRIC’s, the European Recycling Industries’ Confederation’s plastics recycling branch (EPRB) and textile reuse & recycling branch (EuRIC Textiles), together with FEAD, the European Waste Management Association, jointly urge EU Member States to urgently discuss this critical situation at the upcoming June Environment Council, and adopt immediate safeguard measures to support both sectors that are critical to Europe’s circular economy and resource generation.
