Descubra a Agenda Sustainable Plastics

O Projeto Sustainable Plastics pretende constituir-se como a Agenda Mobilizadora para os Plásticos Sustentáveis em Portugal, capaz de alavancar a transição do setor para uma economia circular. Pretende-se mobilizar o setor privado juntamente com as autoridades nacionais, as universidades e os cidadãos, contribuindo desse modo para os objetivos da Economia Circular Europeia de redução das emissões de gases com efeito de estufa, maior eficiência de recursos e da criação de emprego.

O Sustainable Plastics encontra-se estruturado num total de 4 Grupos de Trabalho e 14 PPS (Processos, Produtos e Serviços).

OBJETIVOS ESTRATÉGICOS
  • Alterar o perfil de especialização da economia nacional, através da implementação de atividades de maior valor acrescentado e com pendor para os mercados internacionais.
  • Introduzir novos produtos (bens e serviços) ou processos novos com elevado grau de inovação e diferenciação face ao atual.
  • Aumentar as exportações de bens e serviços, com um contributo significativo para a soberania técnica e tecnológica europeia.
  • Aumentar a utilização de materiais reciclados/reutilizados nos processos produtivos.
  • Reduzir as emissões de CO2 de uma indústria tradicionalmente intensiva em carbono, com uma trajetória concordante com a estabelecida pelo PNEC 2030 e RNC 2050.
