What they argued
UNESDA, representing the European soft drinks industry, welcomes the opportunity to contribute to the evaluation of the Single Use Plastics Directive (SUPD). Our sector is fully committed to reducing plastic pollution, improving circularity, and supporting the EUs transition to a more sustainable packaging system.
UNESDA Soft Drinks Europe welcomes the European Commissions draft Implementing Act setting out harmonised rules to calculate, verify, and report the share of recycled plastic in single-use plastic (SUP) beverage bottles and supports its speedy adoption by Q4 2025. This act provides a critical foundation for the proper enforcement of the recycled content targets, already scheduled for application in 2025.
Dear all, Please find attached UNESDA - Soft Drinks Europe's comments on the draft Decision laying out EU rules for calculating, verifying and reporting recycled plastic content in single-use plastic beverage bottles. Kind regards, [name removed] UNESDA Policy Manager [email removed]
UNESDA Soft Drinks Europe welcomes the European Commissions initiative to address the growing leakage of aluminium scrap outside the EU. Ensuring that valuable secondary raw materials remain available for European industry is essential to strengthening strategic autonomy, supporting circularity, and reducing dependence on primary aluminium.
