Fossil-free plastics present a strategic opportunity for Europe\u2019s industrial resilience<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Europe\u2019s plastic system is at a turning point.<\/h4>\n

Plastics underpin essential sectors, from healthcare and food to construction and transportation. But in Europe, nearly 80% of plastics are produced from virgin fossil feedstocks. Without action, plastic production and disposal in Europe could emit up to 180 Mt CO\u2082eq\/year by 2050 \u2013 a 30% rise from today.[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”3080″ image_size=”full” max_width=”custom” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”center” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width_custom=”550px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1748122125493{margin-top: 30px !important;}” text_direction=”default”]Even <\/span>with the<\/span> most ambitious <\/span>\u2018reduce-reuse-recycle\u2019 measures<\/span>, <\/span>up to<\/span> 28 million tonnes of virgin <\/span>fossil <\/span>plastic <\/span>will still be needed in Europe <\/span>each<\/span> year<\/span> to meet market demand<\/span>. <\/span>Without alternative, fossil-free feedstocks, <\/span>that<\/span> demand will<\/span> lock in further fossil emissions.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][nectar_animated_title heading_tag=”h4″ style=”color-strip-reveal” color=”Extra-Color-1″ text=”Fossil-free virgin plastics are an essential part of the solution.”][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#f7f7f7″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in-from-right” animation_easing=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”]
