Scope 3 reporting is one of the biggest challenges for plastics manufacturers, as it requires mapping emissions throughout the value chain by working with suppliers and customers to account for impacts from raw material extraction, transportation and product use. At the same time, the transition to bio-based raw materials, recycling solutions and energy-efficient technologies involves significant investments, which can be particularly difficult for smaller players in competitive markets.
The detailed requirements of the CSRD also demand expertise in sustainability and reporting, which can lead to the need for external consultants or investment in training for companies that lack internal resources.
