In view of saving ressource through a circular economy the handling of easy to collect and unmixed thermoplastics need to be reviewed. The HS Code for unmixed thermoplastic that can be reprocessed needs to reflect that it is not waste but a raw non-virgin material if it is being sent to Non-EU countries for reprocessing.

Despite multiple, well-documented denunciations at Member State and county level of distributors of non-compliant newly build single use plastic cartridges from China flooding the EU market, widespread breaches of CE marking, RoHS, Low-Voltage directive, WEEE and packaging…
Considering the use of materials remanufacturing is one of the most preferable alternatives because the geometrical form of the product is retained and its associated economic value is preserved.
