Biomass plastics will double market share every decade, reaching a share of 18%. At the same time, the plan assumes that the estimated reduction in greenhouse gas emissions as a result of switching to circular raw materials and avoiding incineration will reacj 55% (129 million tons of CO2) by 2050, and achieving the goals set in The Plastics Transition will require EUR 235 billion of additional system expenditure (CAPEX). +OPEX).
