Blue Polymers’ Post

The recycling of used, mixed, and contaminated plastic waste through traditional (mechanical) recycling methods can get complicated. Advanced (chemical) recycling can fill the gap and is a key to meeting sustainability and circularity goals. Coperion, a Hillenbrand company, develops first-class technologies for the chemical recycling of post-consumer waste. Jochen Schofer, head of sales, business unit recycling at Coperion, explains how chemical recycling contributes to a circular economy: https://bit.ly/3MDQ9yc Learn more about Coperion’s comprehensive chemical recycling product range: https://bit.ly/47BkkOx #Recycling #Innovation #CircularEconomy #MakeItMatter #AdvancedRecycling #PlasticRecyclingWeek

Thanks for having me in your panel Plastics Recycling Show Europe Plastics Recyclers Europe and kudos to our moderator Karen Laird . It was a pleasure to explain the 5-pillar model on how to drive circular economies for (plastic) packaging. We need innovation on pillar 4 (more granular sorting enabled by #Holygrail2 leading to waste digitalisation and resulting in many end to end benefits) and pillar 5(new recycling technologies including dissolution/physical recycling (such as PureCycle Technologies and more solvent based purification technologies including mechanical recycling with decontamination technologies using solvent washing). At the end we need all 3 recycling technologies: -mechanical -dissolution and -chemical! #PGemployee Alliance to End Plastic Waste AIM - European Brands Association

A Closed-Loop Recyclable Low-Density Polyethylene: Bayreuth scientists find a close-loop recycling process for one of the most widely used plastics

The European plastic recycling industry is facing pressing challenges as the #demand for recycled polymers dwindles to its lowest point in recent years.   Setting mandatory #recycledcontent targets has proven to be an effective and valuable tool to increase the recycling capacity in Europe. Then, what is going wrong? 🤔 Decisive and bold EU policy measures are required so recycled content benefits materialize❗   ➡️ Strong mechanisms for #verification and #traceability of recycled polymers, to protect the European recycling industry from unfair competition and fraudulent import.   ➡️ When #measuring recycled plastic content, mandatory third-party certifications are a must. Self-declarations by producers are not enough to ensure compliance with sustainability requirements!   ➡️If you want better outputs, focus on improving inputs. Mandatory #collection targets and #designforrecycling are needed to enhance the quantity and quality of inputs to the recycling processes.    Find out more in the EuRIC’s press release 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/eBuUs-JG #circulareconomy #EUGreenDeal #recycling #plastics #circularity
