“…Even though the modulation scheme has been added to the existing reporting system, producers still face additional administrative burdens (Joltreau, 2018). This may discourage them from trying to obtain bonuses or avoid penalties.…”

“…An advanced disposal fee on materials could ensure cost internalization. This fee could be partially returned in case of closed-loop recycling, thereby changing material choices within the production and packaging industry as well as increase recycling efforts for plastic (Joltreau, 2018).…”

This paper explores climate-friendly projects that could be part of the COVID-19 recovery while jump-starting the transition of the European basic materials industry. Findings from a literature review on technology options in advanced development stages for climate-friendly production, enhanced sorting, and recycling of steel, cement, aluminium, and plastics, are combined with insights from interviews with 31 European stakeholders in these sectors about the practical and economic feasibility of these technology options. Results indicate that with an estimated investment of 28.9 billion Euros, up to 20% of EU's basic materials could be produced through low-emission processes or additional recycling by 2025 with technologies that are commercially available or at pilot scale today. However, our stakeholder consultation also shows that in order to make these short-term investments viable, six main barriers need to be addressed, namely: (i) the lack of effective and predictable carbon pricing, (ii) the limited availability of affordable green electricity, (iii) the lack of a regulatory framework for circularity, (iv) low technology market readiness and funding, (v) the lack of infrastructure for hydrogen, CO 2 and power, and (vi) the lack of demand for climate-friendly and recycled materials. Based on these insights, the paper proposes elements of a policy package that can create a framework favourable for investments in these technologies; these policies should ideally accompany the recovery package to give credibility to investors that the business case will last beyond the recovery period. Key policy insights:. Technologies for climate-friendly materials production, sorting and recycling can be supported as part of the recovery package but require an enabling policy framework.

“… Durability: Huang and Toktay (2019 [38]) modelled the trade-off between recyclability and durability, calibrated with data and assumptions by the EU's WEEE policy framework and the photovoltaic panels (PVP) industry. The model simulation projected that producers designed for recyclability at the opportunity cost of durability and vice versa depending on the stringency of the policy intervention for recycling or collection.…”
