European Legislation: An Epochal Shift Recent environmental and sus- tainability legislation is transform- ing the plastics sector, promoting a circular economy and reducing the environmental impact of plas- tic waste. Since 2018, the EU has set forth on a path toward greater sustainability and material circu- larity, imposing new regulations that will reshape the entire indus- try in the coming years. This his- toric transition marks an unprec- edented shift toward ecological responsibility, in which the manu- facturing sector must now adhere more closely to EU directives than market demands alone. The key pillars of the European plastics strategy include: • Promotion of a circular economy for plastics; • Designing more durable plastics and products to facilitate reuse and recycling; • Initiatives to enhance the use of recycled materials and improve the separate collection of plastic waste; • Increasing plastic recycling rates through advancements in produc- tion and design technologies; • Actions to mitigate the preva- lence of single-use plastics; • Improved waste collection: strengthening infrastructure for the collection and recycling of plastic waste to promote the use of recy- cled plastic; • Promoting innovation: funding and support for the development of advanced recycling technologies and research into alternative materials. GreenPlast 2025 is set to be the premier event for professionals, businesses, and institutions inter- ested in meeting the challenges posed by new environmental stan- dards. The event will feature: Ad- vanced Technological Solutions; Exclusive Presentations; B2B Meet- ings to create synergies and foster joint projects between companies, startups, and investors. In addition to visiting stands, attendees will have the opportunity to engage with experts and explore the latest advancements in the plastics and rubber industry, gaining valuable insights into topics of international relevance.
