17 May 2022 --- European packaging industry associations have submitted a joint letter to EU leaders warning that fragmentation of the Single Market is undermining progress toward the EU Green Deal. The 59 associations called on the EU to create one single circular economy – not 27 separate ones – underpinned by an integrated Single Market. January 1, 2023, will mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the European Single Market. The signatories to the joint letter – who include CEFLEX, European Plastics Converters and Plastics Europe – refer to the Internal Market as “one of the EU’s greatest achievements” and “the key driver of EU economic integration.”
