Commission's Roadmap on the Strategy on Plastics in a Circular Economy

ClientEarth argues that the European Commission's Roadmap on the Strategy on Plastics in a Circular Economy incorrectly treats the elimination of hazardous chemicals as a secondary issue or a trade-off against recycling, rather than a cumulative goal for human health and environmental protection.

• ClientEarth contends that the Roadmap fails to incorporate the EU's binding objective to ensure a high level of protection for human health and the environment against hazardous chemicals, focusing instead on the Circular Economy, EU jobs, and the Energy Union.
• The document asserts that the Roadmap incorrectly frames the issue of hazardous chemicals as a secondary problem—specifically as a cause for "weak incentives for a market for secondary plastic materials"—rather than a fundamental environmental and health concern.
