Report; Plastics Materials Flows in the EU-27 and Their Environmental Impacts

The Joint Research Centre (JRC) has published its final report Plastics materials flows in the EU-27 and their environmental impacts and the report is available here.

The report provides a Material Flow Analysis model developed for the 2022 EU-27 plastic value chain. The research included all the key steps of the value chain from production to end-of-life and recycling, covering nine sectors and 15 polymers.

Section 3.1 provides results by sector (starting on page 19) with the main flow diagram on page 20, section 3.2 provides results by polymers (starting on page 28) and with the main flow diagram on page 30.
