20 Mar 2024 --- Plastics Europe has published its biennial circularity report, finding that recycled plastics now account for 13.5% of new plastic products manufactured in Europe and that the availability of recycled content has increased by 70% since 2018. The report also found that nearly 27% of plastics were recycled in 2022 and claims that more plastic waste is being recycled than entering landfills. According to the association, the findings mean that the European plastics system is halfway toward the interim goal of using 25% of plastics from circular sources in new products by 2030.
