Three Partners Changing the Plastic Recycling Narrative at Site Zero

Svensk Plaståtervinning celebrated the opening of Site Zero, a state-of-the-art plastic sorting plant in Motala, Sweden. The plant features TOMRA and Sutco equipment and aims to realize a circular economy for plastics by sorting Swedish plastic packaging waste into 12 fractions.

Sweden is taking the next leap in plastic recycling and celebrated the extension of the Svensk Plaståtervinning polymer sorting plant. Originally opened in 2019, the plant was built in collaboration with Sutco and featured TOMRA sorting technology.

Italian PET recycler launches new food-grade rPET brand REPETER

With two Starlinger recoSTAR PET bottle-to-bottle recycling lines, Piedmont-based Dentis Recycling Italy S.r.l. expanded its product portfolio and now offers food-grade rPET pellets in addition to hot-washed PET bottle flakes.

Recycling of automotive shredder residues (ASR) – clean plastics

In the past, when recycling electronic waste, cars and many other “end-of-life products”, it was important to recover the valuable metal fractions as completely as possible. This has changed due to the European Commission’s binding target of using at least 25% recycled plastics in new vehicles. In order to meet this target, additional recycling processes will be necessary in the future. | Read more »
