PET tray recycling is evolving ♻️ The estimated recycling capacity was 50,000 tonnes in 2022 and is expected to reach over 300,000 tonnes/year by 2025. However, only a few Member States currently collect and sort PET trays for recycling and face several challenges such as: 👉 High level of impurities in the tray bales 👉 Large variability in the type and colour of feedstock 👉 Insufficient collection and non-standardised sorting activities. Further clarity in legislative developments and more cooperation across the value chain are key to the development of tray-to-tray recycling.

RRSers Martin Seaman and Sara Nichols had a great time at the State of Texas Alliance for Recycling (STAR) Conference last week. As an industry, it's important that we continue to rebuild trust in recycling systems. Consumers and leaders alike need to see how recycled materials become new products. During a STAR panel discussion, Marty and Sara told the stories of glass and paper cup material value chains and what products are made from these recycled materials.
