Originally set for 2023, the scheme now faces delays until 2026 due to resistance from brands and logistical issues, though Craipeau expressed optimism about eventual implementation. The Middle East region faces similar difficulties, with weak demand for recycled plastic, though new EPR initiatives in the UAE and Saudi Arabia signal a potential shift.<\/p>\n<p>BIR\u2019s trade and environment director Alev Somer warned that international negotiations for a legally binding Global Plastics Treaty are stalling, with many countries now leaning toward voluntary agreements, a move Somer argued would lack the necessary force to bring serious change. According to BIR, only mandatory measures can help boost the industry through ongoing economic and environmental challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/bir-convention\/frustrated-plastics-recyclers-cry-for-help-in-singapore\/58804\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-619\/\">Frustrated plastics recyclers cry for help in Singapore<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,2278,1561,16757],"class_list":["post-135047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-industry","tag-market","tag-plastics-recycler"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135047\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
