EU: Report - Plenty of potential for recycling plastics

Although recycling is a much-discussed topic today and is also very much alive in many projects in the plastics industry, experts are repeatedly confirming that too little waste material is used instead of virgin material, yet both the collection systems and technical feasibility have developed enormously. It can therefore be assumed that recycling rates will continue to rise in the years to come. Because of the upcoming trade fair for the plastics and rubber industry K 2016 in October, Messe Düsseldorf is publishing a series of expert reports. The second report is called “Plenty of potential for recycling”. The report elaborates on recycling of polyolefins, PET and PVC among other things.
