Why circular plastics?
The French and Dutch government took the lead in setting up the European Plastic Pact (EurPP), which was signed in March 2020 in Brussels. Our countries share the same goal: creating a circular plastic economy, where single use plastics are no longer polluting our environment. The market trends in France are very promising, especially in the design and end of life (waste) stages. Therefore, the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) and the Dutch Economic Network in France commissioned the Technopolis group to do a market study on circular plastics in France. The webinar will present the results of this study and help you – Dutch businesses – understand the opportunities for your business in France.
Why France?
First of all, because the French government is setting strict goals for the plastic sector to become circular. New investments and regulations are accelerating this transition. However, France does not yet have all the expertise on its territory to achieve this – that is where Dutch companies could provide added value. The needs for innovation and extra capacity pose opportunities for Dutch businesses to expand into France. Secondly, France has an important networking function in the plastic sector, for example during the biennial trade fair Pollutec in Lyon (12-15 October 2021).
