These guidelines will provide further crucial support to the mechanical recycling of PET trays industry in Europe. Providing the required quality and food safety of both the monolayer and multilayer tray recycling streams.
This initiative further supports the circular economy by promoting the recycling of materials for the same application and adding value to each stream.
By actively working towards increasing the use of recycled PET, the mechanical recycling industry for plastics is playing a vital role in reducing waste and enhancing the concept of plastic waste being an important feedstock material.
By aligning with the targets set by the European Commission, and the structuring the industry for ‘circularity’, the PET value chain players are actively working towards a more sustainable future.
