Reloop

Reloop has set out six recommendations for Europes forthcoming Circular Economy Act. Our position paper aims to advance Europes circular economy, boost material recovery and promote investment in practical, scalable solutions.

Reloop welcomes the possibility to provide feedback on the recently proposed revision of the Packaging and Packaging Waste Directive. We commend the Commission's efforts and the level of ambition introduced in the new proposal, which will help reduce the ever-increasing amount of packaging waste and facilitate the development of a circular economy.

I am Clarissa Morawski CEO and co-founder to Reloop Platform. We are submitting a commissioned report by Dr. Dominic Hogg, The Case for Sorting Recyclables from Residual Waste. The report is comprehensive in its scope, and addresses proposed changes to the WFD, while at the same time offering additional proposals for complimentary policies within the EU.

A new study by CE Delft, in collaboration with Zero Waste Europe and Reloop, confirms that including waste incineration in the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) would bring significant climate and employment benefits. Key findings include: 1. Major emissions reductions Including incineration in the EU ETS could cut CO emissions by 47 million tonnes in 2030, rising to 1832 million tonnes by 2040. 2.

Reloop is a non-profit organisation working to advance the circular economy in Europe by ensuring that materials remain in use and that reliance on virgin resources is structurally reduced. The EU Single-Use Plastics Directive represents a major milestone in global efforts to address plastic pollution. Several years after its adoption, the emerging evidence shows that it is beginning to work as intended.

Reloop welcomes the opportunity to submit feedback to this important consultation as a part of the European Plastics Circularity (EPC) Coalition. The EPC Coalition is an informal, issue-driven coalition of companies and associations from across the plastic packaging value chain: mechanical and chemical recyclers, waste management operators, polymer producers, converters and producer responsibility organisations.

Reloop welcomes the development of the draft Implementing Decision in order to ensure correct implementation of Article 9 SUPD on setting separate collection targets for beverage bottles. We are concerned that the current draft is ambiguous, and can be intepreted to include bottles pulled from mix-waste/residual waste.
