Plastics Europe calls for market-pull measures for low-carbon products and products from sustainable carbon sources under the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA) to support European plastics value chains, including the introduction of Union origin requirements. These measures should strengthen Europe’s industrial base and accelerate the transition to a low carbon and circular economy.
Such market-pull measures, including those related to Union origin, shall be carefully assessed prior to introduction, regularly reviewed, and designed to complement – rather than replace – efforts to restore European competitiveness. In the case of Union-origin requirements, these should incentivise the uptake of European-produced plastics in finished products.
