The Investment Thesis
The plastic credits market is where carbon was in 2008.
Growth is expected to be driven by EU PPWR compliance demand, expanding corporate plastic neutrality commitments, and potential treaty-linked compliance requirements. Plastic credits may follow a path similar to the voluntary carbon market, with the added driver of regulatory mandates.
Key risk factors: standard fragmentation, verification integrity, and the absence of a centralised price benchmark. Infrastructure investment in MRV technology and project finance vehicles is addressing the supply-side bottleneck that currently constrains market growth.
