Policy Spotlight – A competitive, circular Europe: with or without plastics?

As the new EU mandate focuses on economic resilience and industrial competitiveness, stakeholders in the plastics sector gather at the European Parliament for a Policy Spotlight event. This high-profile discussion highlights how European policy can drive both competitiveness and sustainability, positioning Europe as a global leader in the circular economy.

The event, attended by Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), policy advisors, and key figures from the plastics industry, centers on one critical question: How can Europe support sustainable industrial growth while maintaining its economic strength on the global stage?

Europe’s potential to lead in circularity and innovations within the plastics industry aimed at minimizing environmental impact are the focus of the discussion. With topics ranging from regulatory challenges to the role of a strong value chain in fostering economic resilience, the event tackles the need for a collaborative approach between policymakers and the plastics industry.

VinylPlus showcases its commitment to advancing circularity and sustainability through close collaboration across the value chain.

By convening leaders and stakeholders, the event highlights Europe’s opportunity to set the global benchmark for sustainable industrial practices. As discussions progress, the plastics sector and policymakers alike look to strengthen regulatory frameworks and further align on a vision for a circular, resilient future.
