Plastics Europe shares the European Commission’s climate ambition and commitment to prevent carbon leakage. We believe that, in its current form and timing, extending CBAM to plastics and organic chemicals would not achieve these aims and could instead undermine the EU’s industrial transformation by imposing high emission and administrative costs, leaving critical scope gaps, and eroding competitiveness and support at a critical time for the plastics industry.
