We’ve spilled plenty of ink in this newsletter on carbon capture, but less on what happens after —particularly carbon-to-value. Downstream emissions result from the transportation and packaging involved in distribution, product usage itself (e.g., spinning, weaving, and knitting). incineration or landfills).

We all know that giving waste a second life is more carbon-efficient than incinerating it, but reaching a definition on what makes an item 'recyclable' is one of the most complex challenges policymakers currently face. The proposal states that packaging (all materials) entering the EU market must meet design for recyclability criteria.
