On September 2019, more than 100 public and private partners covering the whole plastics value chain signed the declaration of the Circular Plastics Alliance, which promotes voluntary actions for a well-functioning EU market in recycled plastics. Signatures included Recovinyl's founding members: VinylPlus, the voluntary commitment for sustainable development by the European PVC industry, PRE (European recyclers association) and EUPC (European converters association).

The declaration sets a number of actions that the coalition will work on to foster the uptake of 10 million tonnes of recycled plastic in Europe by 2025.

Concrete actions include:

  • improving the design of plastic products to make them more recyclable and integrate more recycled plastics;

  • identifying untapped potential for more plastic waste collection, sorting and recycling across the EU, as well as the investment gaps;

  • building a Research & Development agenda for circular plastics;

  • establishing a transparent and reliable monitoring system to track all flows of plastic waste in the EU.
