Assorimap, the association of plastics recyclers, recently raised the alarm regarding the massive entry of low-cost Asian virgin plastics: a situation that is seriously damaging recycling companies in Europe.
At Temakrom we are well aware of the difficulties created by this unfair competition.
Low-cost plastics from Asia are exerting strong pressure on the market, forcing European companies to reduce prices and often also the quality of materials.
This phenomenon undermines efforts towards an effective and sustainable circular economy, a principle that guides our work every day.
We believe that, to guarantee a quality future for our sector, Europe must adopt concrete protection measures, such as the introduction of duties on imported virgin plastics, thus incentivizing the use of recycled plastics.
At Temakrom we continue to invest in innovative solutions to improve the performance of recycled plastics through our Masterbatches and Compounds, contributing to the growth of a more sustainable, efficient and competitive market.
