Plastic waste: Commission consults on new rules for chemically-recycled content in plastic bottles
The only end-of-life option that is working OK is mechanical recycling of PET …. now the European Commission wants to throw everything overboard by allowing chemical recycling of PET. 😂 The European Commission is truly an ivory tower ….

CBE JU launches 30 new projects
There are valid projects within CBE JU but there are a few ‘fake projects’ too. The fake projects are so obvious that the EU Commission should have noticed it. The EU Commission doesn’t manage EU funds wisely.

Chemical Groups are leaving EU
EU has become a synonym for over regulation. The EU Commission believes good governance is equal to more and complex legislation. EU citizens are not aware of most EU legislations. The EU Commission is an ivory tower, disconnected from the reality of EU citizens.

Unpacking the Challenges of Life Cycle Assessment: Evaluating the Environmental Impact of PET Upcycling in upPE-T (FREE)
Plastics have become an indispensable part of modern life, yet their environmental footprint remains a critical challenge. Currently, over 98% of plastics are derived from non-renewable fossil fuels, contributing significantly to carbon emissions and environmental degradation. While some plastics are biobased, not all of them are recyclable, reusable, or biodegradable, limiting their role in sustainable material cycles. Among…

Governments support strict controls on maritime transport of plastic pellets
International plastic trading (including recycled plastic pellets) is linked to criminal organisations. Plastic waste is supposedly recycled into fake plastic pellets and are exported abroad (Africa, Asia) where they will be incinerated. All of this is soaked with EU funds and Italy plays the central hub. The European Commission is literally funding criminal organisations.

EUBP welcomes the inclusion of soil-biodegradable products in the EU Fertilising Products Regulation
The EUBP markets its technology as ‘biodegradable’ for agricultural applications while they market it as ‘compostable’ for packaging applications. It’s a fraud. Pushing OXO technology of the cliff was a cabal to get rid of a competing technology. The European Commission should have been neutral but it was a complice in this conspiracy. My big…

White Paper on Upcycling Food and Drinks Packaging: How EU-funded research projects transform food and drink packaging to reduce waste (report)
The pressure is mounting as more and more people are asking questions. They have to come up with all kinds of justifications for all the millions that vanished in ghosts projects and mirages. Champaign is still flowing for the lobbyists as they have successfully tamed the European Commission. It’s hilarious.

Why China is smarter than EU when it comes to climate policies
EU institutions believe they’re better than the rest of the world. In reality, Europe is an old continent without popular cohesion and vision. China, on the other hand, has that popular project: a vision aimed at the middle classes; not like the EU institutions with their policies that only benefit the elites.

New ReBioCycle Project on Novel Recycling and Upcycling Solutions for Bioplastics
