The development directions for this industry, its vision, the plastics place on the old continent by 2050 is are important discussion element . These issues are presented in the "The Plastics Transition" road map exhibited at this year's expo

- This is a vision that we hope to achieve in the plastics system by 2050 in cooperation with the entire value chain and with decision-makers' support - says Doctor Engineer  Anna Kozera-Szałkowska, Managing Director of Plastics Europe Polska.

The map predicts that by 2050, 65%, i.e. 42 million tonnes, of all plastics used by processors will be produced from circular raw materials. 43% will come from recycling (including 24% from mechanical recycling and 19% from chemical recycling). Biomass plastics will double market share every decade, reaching a share of 18%. At the same time, the plan assumes that the estimated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions as a result of switching to circular raw materials and avoiding incineration will reacj 55% (129 million tons of CO2) by 2050, and achieving the goals set in The Plastics Transition will require EUR 235 billion of additional system expenditure (CAPEX). +OPEX).
