Packaging Sustainability and Incorporation of Recycled Material

PlasticsEurope plans to significantly increase investment in chemical recycling: from EUR 2.6 billion in 2025 to EUR 7.2 billion in 2030. To further accelerate investments in this key technology and the transition towards a circular economy, the Association calls for a strong policy and regulatory framework.

European Plastics Manufacturers Invest in Chemical Recycling

The Plastics Recycling Show Europe (PRSE), the pan-European exhibition and conference dedicated to plastics recycling, returns to the RAI Amsterdam, The Netherlands on 4–5 November 2021.

Plastics Recycling Show Europe Returns to Amsterdam

From May 3 to 6, 2022, Milan will host Greenplast for the first time, an exhibition/convention dedicated to materials, technologies, and converting processes for plastics and rubber, with a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability, recovery and recycling of materials, and energy efficiency.

Greenplast – A New Exhibition in Italy

The central issue in all polyurethane applications is the conversion from the past linear economy into a circular economy, and the use of sustainable raw materials in manufacturing. To do so, manufacturers are taking measures such as using bio-based raw materials, chemical recycling, and CO2 as a synthesis component. Digitalization, electromobility, autonomous driving and the construction industry are also driving PU development.

Present in a Multitude of Trends

Plastics processors have a wide range of colors at their disposal to color their products. Choosing the right color can ultimately be the key to success. But colors are just as subject to trends as materials and designs. Kunststoffe asked manufacturers of pigments, masterbatches, and colorants which colors would be particularly popular in the coming year.

What Will Be the Color of 2021?

Plastic waste in the sea has been shaping the negative image of the industry for several years. Various initiatives and mergers of companies have therefore launched projects to tackle this Ocean-bound Plastics (OBP). Components made of OBP could become a symbol for a sustainable use of plastics.

From the Sea to Electronics

Plastics are among the materials most widely used for food contact applications. While there is pressure to use recycled plastics in packaging in order to combat plastic waste, certain conditions must be met before food packaging can be considered safe.

Today plastics recycling is usually only classified as being either mechanical or chemical. However, precise differentiation is crucial for any assessment of the possibilities and limitations of plastic recovery processes and whether materials are actually being recycled or merely their raw materials recovered.

A Comparison of Physical and Chemical Plastics Recycling

The Role of Chemistry in  Plastics Recycling

Polymer materials, including synthetic polymers, have a bad reputation. These image problems do not just arise from the current environmental debate but also have earlier origins. In the past, too, polymer materials were subject to unjustified criticism. This often stemmed from non-scientists and frequently betrayed a lack of scientific knowledge.

European Plastics Converters Joins Styrenics Circular Solutions

Styrenics Circular Solutions (SCS), the value chain initiative to increase the circularity of styrenic polymers, welcomed European Plastics Converters (EuPC) as new member.

EuPC is the professional representative body of 55.000 plastics converters in Europe, whose activity embraces all sectors of the plastics converting industry, including recycling.

Their members include national plastics organizations, as well as sector organizations within the plastics converting industry.

Jens Kathmann, Secretary-General of SCS, commented: “We are very pleased to welcome EuPC on board. Converters are on the front line when it comes to our whole value chain’s mission to fulfil the intrinsic circular potential of styrenics. Individual converter companies already make up an important part of the SCS team and it greatly increases our momentum to have EuPC’s participation as we move forward.” Alexandre Dangis, EuPC Managing Director, said: “EuPC welcomes and supports the transition to a stronger and more circular plastics economy where all plastic waste resources are used in a sustainable way. Styrenics are an important part of the plastic industry’s goal to achieve the 2025 European Union recycling targets. Our membership of SCS allows us to further improve our active role in this drive and build on developing additional plastic circular business models in Europe.”
