19 Oct 2023 --- In an effort to expedite plastic recycling and meet the EU’s ambitious recycling targets, 20 associations representing various sectors of the plastics supply chain have issued a call to EU member states to adopt a mass balance fuel-use exempt method. Mass balance is an accounting principle that tracks input and output in recycling or production processes to determine recycled content. Fuel exemption excludes energy used in the process and certain co-products, making it simpler to allocate remaining outputs.
