From society to politics to industry - everyone acknowledges that a functioning circular economy is necessary to meet climate goals. Everyone also agrees that the use of recyclates must be significantly increased. But there are a number of obstacles and problems along the way. For example, not enough recyclates are available in sufficient quantity and suitable quality.
This is due to the fact that recycled plastics are very heterogeneous in composition (type of material, color, foreign bodies). In addition, the prices for recyclate are rising very fast. Innovative process technology is needed to improve profitability and reduce the risk involved in the use of recycled plastic materials.
… why there is increasing pressure on plastics processors to use more recyclate
… the differences between post-consumer and post-industrial recyclate
… the problems plastics processors may face when using recyclate
… how to future-proof your processes to effectively handle increasing volumes of recyclate
