Sekab, a leading producer of bio-based chemicals, welcomes the European Commission’s Sustainable Products Initiative and its ambition to reduce the negative life cycle environmental impacts of products through an updated Eco-Design Directive. We are, however, concerned about the proposal to use the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology in the proposal under the eco-design requirements.

SEKAB position on THE PROPOSAL FOR A REVISED EMISSIONS TRADING SYSTEM Introduction SEKAB, a key player in the European bio-ethanol industry, welcomes the proposed revision of the Emissions Trading System (ETS) as a part of the Fit-for-55 legislative package. The ETS is one of the most effective tools in the Comission’s arsenal to achieve the goals of the EU Climate Law.

Please find the position document attached. Conclusions The revised Energy Taxation Directive represents a significant improvement relative to the current legislation. The move from a volume-based to an energy content-based taxation in particular, has the potential to drive decarbonisation in the European economy, provided it is supported by strong flanking measures.

Regulation on CO2 limits for vans and cars (and heavy transport) has been a success story for the European Commission. Binding targets were introduced for 2013, for 2020/21 and new targets have now been set for 2025 and 2030. We note both that this has had a strong impact on the industry, and it has created new business models in the pooling of car companies to "trade" credits to the laggers.

Sekab, as a chemical company with many years of experience in producing sustainable biobased chemicals based on ethanol, wants to provide feedback on the draft act titled "Single-use plastic beverage bottles EU rules for calculating, verifying and reporting on recycled plastic content".
