ECP4 contribution to the Public Consultation on the Advacend Materials Act
ECP4 has submitted its contribution to the European Commission’s public consultation on the Call for Evidence for the Advanced Materials Act. In our paper, we set out why plastics, composites and polymer-based materials must be recognised as strategic advanced materials, being central to Europe’s industrial competitiveness, innovation capacity, and strategic autonomy across sectors such as mobility, energy, healthcare, construction, and defence.
The contribution highlights priority actions to: strengthen targeted R&I investment and scale-up support; safeguard a credible circular economy through enforceable traceability and a level playing field for recyclates; embed practical, harmonised eco-design and certification approaches; reduce regulatory complexity that slows innovation; and foster a strong EU AI ecosystem for advanced materials discovery and deployment.
