This event will bring together key representatives of the Italian plastic recycling industry, providing an in-depth analysis of market dynamics in Italy, considered as a case study to examine the main structural challenges affecting the sector at European level. These include increasing competitive pressures, market distortions, rising energy costs, and challenges related to the implementation of the current regulatory framework. The discussion will also explore potential policy responses aimed at strengthening the sector's resilience and its strategic role within the European industrial ecosystem.
