STEEL FOR PACKAGING EUROPE’s Post

This is #circularity in action and a milestone to be proud of. Having said that, although 80.5% is impressive, recycling rate differences between countries are significant so we can’t let up. The Packaging & Packaging Waste Regulation passed by the EU earlier this year will help focus attention with clear criteria for designing packaging for recycling. As Steel for Packaging Europe says, let’s urge “all EU institutions to maintain high levels of ambition to collectively build a greener, more circular future in Europe.” #MetalRecyclesForever

Steel packaging has already exceeded the EU 2025 recycling rate target of 70%, with an impressive 78.5% 'really recycled' in 2021! The 2022 'real recycling' rate will be announced on June 26th. In the meantime, if you want to know why so much steel is really recycled, Steve Claus explains it here: https://lnkd.in/d6XaikbS #steelforpackagingeurope #steelforpackaging #packaging #circulareconomy #recyclability #sustainablepackaging #greeneconomy #recyclingrateannouncement #recyclingrate #realrecycling 

Plastic vs. ❌ cardboard 📌 Corrugated cardboard packaging is widely collected and recycled in Europe 🇪🇺. Recycling of corrugated cardboard exceeded 90 %, and corrugated cardboard averaged 89 %. 📌 The cardboard industry is concerned that the new European Union rules on packaging reuse favour plastics. 📌 Read more here 👉 https://politi.co/3Ouumdx 📌 What do you think about the proposals? Good ✅ or bad ❌?

From scrap to purpose, this recycling system is turning bulky plastic scrap into a resource. Any plastic production waste is shredded using a WEIMA ZMK40 four-shaft shredder, before being further reduced in size with a WNZ granulator, producing plastic granules that can be used again for manufacturing.

❓ What is toll granulation ❓ If you’re a plastic moulding company generating regular plastic waste, some recycling companies offer a toll granulation service – where they’ll collect your scrap, reprocess it, and then return it to you in a useable form.

Week 7 #TrashTalk Topic: The Hidden Challenges of Multi-Material Recycling Most of us understand the importance of sorting recyclables into four main categories: glass, paper, plastic, and metal. However, the reality is that many everyday products are far more complex than they appear. Take Tetra Pak packaging, for example. It consists of six layers, including paper, aluminum foil, and polyethylene plastic. Or consider a simple T-shirt, which often combines various fabric types and threads, complicating the recycling process. Successfully recycling these multi-material products requires meticulous separation – something many recycling facilities are not equipped to handle. This complexity leads to lower recovery rates and landfill waste. As we work toward a circular economy, it’s imperative to recognise the widespread presence of multi-material products in our lives. From packaging to products, these items represent both a significant challenge and a vital opportunity for innovation in recycling technologies. What multi-material products do you encounter daily, and how can we collectively drive the conversation toward better recycling solutions? #TrashtalkbyKK #DialoguewithKK #Sustainability #EnvironmentalStewardship

Paper is recycled more than any other material in the U.S. municipal solid waste stream. Did you know the recycling rate for cardboard - or what the industry calls corrugated - was more than 93% in 2022? Get more #paperfacts!   https://lnkd.in/gYrb3qBd   #cardboard #paper #recycling
