📢 EARLY BIRDS REGISTRATION ➡️ https://bit.ly/41m5auX ⏰SAVE the date 27 & 28 May to meet up with experts and PET Thermoforms industry leaders at our Thermoforms Conference 2025 “PET Thermoforms ♻️Circularity: How can collection and sorting of PET Thermoforms be improved?” that will be held in France, Dijon & Beaune. ♻️ A big thanks to our GOLD SPONSOR Sorema div. of Previero N. srl for its continuous support of our activities! PETCORE EUROPE Thermoforms Working Group was launched in June 2015, comprises more than 80 companies and organizations including key players from industry and waste management. Since then a number of events have been organized: online workshops on Recycling PET Thermoforms in 2019, Thermoforms Conference 2023 in Italy & 2024 in Spain. ♻️PETCORE EUROPE is now focused on helping the value chain to reach the PPWR targets of 55% for collection, sorting and recycling and 30% recycled content for the PET thermoforms. ⏰The first day of the event will feature the presentations from all the major experts in the field of thermoforms, followed by panel discussions with the guests from the industry.

This physical event will have a special focus on thermoforms collection and sorting of PET thermoforms as a first key step towards circularity. We will also showcase PETCORE EUROPE Thermoforms WG’s initiatives: Tray Circularity Evaluation Platform (TCEP), Functional Barrier (FB) task Force, Standardization efforts for design for recycling and recyclability evaluations in connection with PPWR. We will also discuss recyclability scoring which is provisioned in the PPWR. 💡Last but not least we will give a floor to innovators with projects that have some potential to help thermoforms ♻️ circularity.

📢 TCEP launches Design Guidelines for recycling for PET multilayer trays. TCEP enhances the Design for Recycling for PET monolayer trays with the addition of Design for Recycling for PET multilayer trays. This initiative is in line with the work the Thermoform team is carrying out in the CEN Standardization WG.   ♻️These guidelines will provide further crucial support to the mechanical recycling of PET trays industry in Europe, providing the required quality and food safety of both the monolayer and multilayer tray recycling streams.   🌍This initiative further supports the circular economy by promoting the recycling of materials for the same application and adding value to each stream.   By actively working towards increasing the use of recycled PET, the mechanical recycling industry for plastics is playing a vital role in reducing waste and enhancing the concept of plastic waste being an important feedstock material.   By aligning with the targets set by the European Commission, and the structuring the industry for ‘circularity’, the PET value chain players are actively working towards a more sustainable future.   The Tray Circularity Evaluation Platform (TCEP) is a European industry initiative that provides PET thermoforms design guidelines for recycling, evaluates thermoform packaging solutions and technologies, and facilitates understanding of the effects of new PET thermoforms innovations on recycling process. The TCEP initiative fully supports the economic and Environmental sustainability of the European PET value chain.
