This study aims to provide an in-depth understanding of the effectiveness of incentives for the incorporation and use of recycled plastics implemented in France and in 8 member countries*.
The first part of the study takes stock
of the recycled plastics market, focusing mainly on the barriers and growth
dynamics, and provides an overview of the regulatory frameworks governing
plastics recycling and circularity. The following chapters analyse the
incentive mechanisms, voluntary commitments and green deals that are deemed to
contribute most to the incorporation of recycled plastics, and those that have
proved unsuitable or counter-productive. Within the
limits of the available data (still not very centralised to date) and the very
rapid evolution of paradigms, the results of each measure are studied and are
accompanied by an analysis of the key success and failure factors and a country
analysis, intended to contextualise the results.
The final part of the study proposes action levers designed to remove the main
obstacles to greater incorporation of recycled plastics.
