Paragraph 8
Paragraph 8
8. IEmphasises that many products in circulation represent altogether a major reservoir of carbon that is often released at the end-of-life phase; invites the industry sectors involved in carbon cycling to come forward with innovative solutions and initiatives aiming to gradually replace fossil carbon with sustainable streams of biogenic and recycled carbon, including carbon captured from industrial processes;
Amendment 222 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 a (new)
Paragraph 8 a (new)
8a. Acknowledges that an aspirational target of 20% to increase the share of sustainable non-fossil carbon sources in chemical and plastic products can be an important signal for the corresponding sectors; emphasises that such target can only be achieved if access to sustainable sources of carbon is ensured and if the legislative framework creates a supportive framework by differentiating the origin of the carbon; invites the Commission to establish a clear definition and methodology for calculating the share of sustainable non-fossil carbon;
Amendment 233 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 8 b (new)
Paragraph 8 b (new)

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 a (new)
Paragraph 16 a (new)

Amendment 427 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16 b (new)
Paragraph 16 b (new)
16b. Stresses that enhanced carbon removal within products must build on robust carbon accounting methodologies that fully consider the upfront uptake of biogenic carbon into biomass; therefore, invites the Commission to revise the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) methodology to align it with globally accepted principles and reflect transparently on the benefits and trade- offs at all stages of product value chains;
Amendment 475 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 19 a (new)
Paragraph 19 a (new)
