A contribution to the discussion on a circular economy for plastics moderated by PlasticsEurope Deutschland e. V.

With the necessary transformation into a circular economy with plastics, the plastics industry is facing a far-reaching paradigm shift. Plastics Europe would like to drive this change forward. In the first half of 2022, as part of an initiative by Plastics Europe Deutschland, leading experts in the field of circular economy with plastics have developed recommendations for action for the German circular economy strategy announced in the latest coalition agreement in 2021 after intensive consultations. Plastics Europe Deutschland took the role of a moderator in this discussion process in order to guarantee recommendations for action on a technical and scientific basis.

With this paper we would like to initiate a discussion process and actively accompany the circular economy strategy and thus also the transformation path for our industry.
