A call for maintaining the current Plastics Own Resource at 0.80 euro/kg and earmarking the revenues to fund plastics circularity.

We call on the European Commission and Member States to keep the 0.80 cent/kg and to earmark the proceeds from the “Plastics Own resources”, commonly referred to as the EU plastic tax, into a Dedicated Fund aimed at building a more circular economy for plastics. Furthermore, the European Commission should present an impact assessment of the effects of the levy, considering the competitiveness issues of the plastics manufacturing value chain.
