Ensuring sustainable patterns of consumption and production: The overall objective of the project is to reinforce the EU’s leading role in transitioning to plastics of the future along with contributing to high performing recycle industries and durable plastics. This project assists the EU in reaching its global climate commitments and industrial policy objectives via supporting the international elements of the EU Plastic Strategy for the America‘s Region.
