Recycling Plastic No-One Else Can
30%30% of plastic
recycled in the EU, 31% landfilled, 39%
incinerated
Growing momentum to tackle plastic waste :
1M+Every day more than
1 million tonnes of plastics are
produced worldwide
8M+Every year more
than 8 million tonnes of plastic
waste leaks into the ocean
14%Only around 14% of plastic packaging is recycled worldwide
Media campaign and awareness
China ban on plastic import
Policies to increase recycling and improve waste management

A GROWING PROBLEM – PLASTIC WASTE
*Given that 37% of plastic waste is sent abroad for‘recycling’, only 19.5% of EU plastic collected is recycledinside the EU.
Plastic collection and recycling in the EU
27.1 MT of plastic collected
8.4 MT of plastic recycled (31%)
5.3 MT of plastic recycled
within theEU*
China ban divert plastic waste export to countries with even less infrastructure
PLASTIC ENERGY 2019
• These countries are starting to close their doorson plastic waste.
• Despite dedicating funds to waste management,higher income countries prefer divert the burdenof dealing with their plastic waste onto developingmarkets with less infrastructure, less wastemanagement framework, less funds dedicated.
RECYCLING OR EXPORTING?
<600,000 Tonnes of plastic export from the UK in 2018
Mainly to:Malaysia Indonesia Turkey Poland

More demand for recycled content
How will we develop this
market?
Develop the market for new recycling technologies
No export of plastics
Improve collection and sorting systems
Incentivize solutions at home

Difficult to replacePlastic recycled (EU)
Plastic Energy with its technology produces an optimal feedstock (TACOIL) used for making new plastic and create a circular economy, or used as an alternative fuel with a low carbon footprint.
Chemical recycling complements mechanical recycling and overcome some of its challenges.

Seville (SP)- Plant operating since 2017- Incorporates several improvements over Almeria
Tenerife (SP)Expected to be operational in 2020
Geleen (NL)Expected to be built in 2020- MoU signed with SABIC for building a large scale plant- Focus on the circular economy of plastics: Plastic2Plastic
Indonesia- MoU signed in West Java for the construction of 5 plants
And many other projects in the pipeline…PLASTIC ENERGY2019
OUR ACHIEVEMENTS.
The EU is the principal market for recycling as many supportive policies are in place to encourage more circular management and recycling.
Very ambitious recycling rates for plastics (Circular Economy Package)
55% 10% 65%
Plastic packaging to be recycled by 2030.
Maximum amount of municipal waste landfilled by 2035
Recycling target for municipal waste by 2035
Recognition of chemical recycling andcreation of a supportive framework tofully exploit its potential
Chemical Recycling recognised as‘Recycling’ in the EU Waste Hierarchy
Harmonisation of policies on collection& segregation systems
Lifting the discrepancies betweenREACH/end-of-waste
Facilitating the access to the plasticand discouraging plastic waste export
NO POLICY FRAMEWORK YET FOR CHEMICAL RECYCLING.
What do we need to encourage chemical recycling?
