Mariya Gabriel, European commissioner for innovation, research, culture, education and youth, said: “Around 26 million tons of plastics waste are generated in Europe each year, of which only a fraction is currently recycled. By supporting this project we intend to contribute to plastics’ industry circularity, as well as sustainability. Once again, research and innovation are proving essential to advance on our quest for an economy that respects the planet.”
