At the @PlasticsEurope event this morning @VSinkevicius acknowledged that #chemical #recycling could be a good compliment to mechanical recycling, but could not say whether this material would be legally classed as recycled. #greennewdeal #plastics

"we have allowed the plastic crisis to be decoupled from the climate crisis - we need true life cycle analysis, not just factory gate" @siansutherland of @PlasticPlanet "plastic is not really a pollution problem, it is a production problem, it is a design problem"

"We have to consider extended producer responsibility (EPR). If we don’t consider EPR then there will be no outcome in tackling plastic pollution" Shahriar Hossain making powerful points in Global Research & Innovation in Plastics Sustainability #plastic #sustainability

A 5-30% increase in #plastic #recycling rates from 2025 mean €1-8bn could be realised in @chemsec press conference

Essential use of chemicals from EU legislative perspective: @MariaSpyraki makes case that essential will differ regionally, while @mhojsik says that 'essential use' is where innovation for alternatives should start not end.

Looking at essential use in the chemicals industry - fascinating research from @GAVClaw and Kathleen Garnett about the current legislation at @Cefic's talk this morning

Watching the chemicals roundtable at #EUIndustryDays with @cefic @chemsec @windeurope @hydrogeneurope & @IndustriALL_GU hashing out some HUGE issues got me like: https://t.co/Y5CERgfixz

EU regulations are very good, but it is not enough. Business as usual is no longer an option said @chemsec @fridahok at #EUIndustryDays2021 on hazardous chems and substances of concern

Challenges put forward by @luktriangle of @IndustriALL_GU: What are we doing today to prepare people for the jobs of tomorrow? We know they will be different, we know the drivers of change? How do we together anticipate that today, as we cannot wait tomorrow. #EUIndustryDays2021

As a trade union it is clear Europe needs performing and innovative chemicals industry, otherwise we risk failing our climate targets - @LucTriangle of @IndustriALL_GU at #EUIndustryDays2021

Our mission is no emission @H2Europe head @Chatzimarkakis #catchyslogan #EUIndustryDays2021

"EU chemicals standards need to be global standards" @MMens said at #EUIndustryDays2021 - but what does that mean for #Brexit and #UKReach?

EU Commission "investments occur when conditions are right" for #green energy and #hydrogen said Commissioner @GwenoleCozigou at #euindustrydays, infrastructure will be key for roll out

At the #euindustrydays discussion on #hydrogen and #ammonia @iberdrola exec Raquel Blanco states it is necessary to focus on big scale green hydrogen production to make it economically viable.

Even it is not peak-demand season for PET in Europe, market dynamics are still fraught. @ICISCaroline, Hazel Goh and Luly Stephens outline the challenges in this snappy podcast: https://t.co/z3PieXn4MK

PETCORE EUROPE @petcoreeurope

Did you know that PET has the lowest carbon footprint compared with alternative beverage materials? Lifecyle assessments show us that PET contributes to fewer greenhouse gases and less waste. 🌳 Find out more👉https://t.co/HDsIrsaxrV https://t.co/cJUVAeoRwj
