As legislation sets new targets for increasing the recycled content in plastic packaging, safeguarding the quality of rPET is critical, especially for food-contact applications. Designing additives and recycling processes with circularity in mind is essential for the future of sustainable plastic packaging. The journey is challenging, but with continuous innovation and a commitment to sustainability, a circular economy for plastics is achievable.
