Key Takeaways:

• Regulations are accelerating globally — The EU's PPWR mandates minimum recycled content in plastic packaging by 2030, while EPR schemes, plastic taxes, and waste trading bans are expanding across Europe and Asia, especially in Thailand.

• Sustainability is no longer optional — Brands must design for actual recyclability, meet mandatory recycled content targets, and ensure full supply chain traceability.

• Advanced recycling is becoming a key enabler — Especially for applications where mechanical recycling falls short, helping recover value from materials that would otherwise be difficult to utilize circularly.

• Value chain collaboration is key — From brand owners to solution providers, aligning across the ecosystem is critical to make circularity work at scale.

The session offered a rare opportunity to hear perspectives across the value chain — from regulators and brand owners to recycling innovators — highlighting how advanced recycling is emerging as a key solution to meet evolving regulatory requirements and drive circularity in plastics.
