2020, a year marked by the COVID-19 which has also affected the plastics sector
It is now almost ten months since the health crisis of the COVID-19 began. Ten months during which all sectors have been affected, to a greater or lesser extent. During all this time, the plastics industry has played a key role in using its resources and capabilities to fight against the pandemic, supplying different sectors such as the medical-hospital and food sectors.
Why circular economy is essential in the post-COVID-19 recovery
Climate change has become more and more internalised, but not only in the values and behaviour of each individual, but also in management policies. For example, according to a survey carried out by the European Investment Bank (EIB) in collaboration with the survey specialist group BVA, 64% of Spaniards consider…
Plastic transformers, a growing industry
Plastic products can be found in virtually all industries. This is due to their characteristics: adaptability, durability, and light weight, which make them a favourite in the construction, packaging, and automotive industries. This sector contributes to the process of innovation, promoting resource efficiency and, at the same time, creating jobs….
The plastics industry is making “significant” progress incorporating recycled content into packaging
The recycled content in packaging has grown a 22% in the last two years, which will result in a reduction of the consumption of single-use plastics of at least 1.1 million tonnes by 2025 When the European Parliament approved the circular economy measures in 2018, it included ambitious recycling…

So, the objective of standardisation is to draw up a series of technical specifications or standards that are used by organisations to guarantee the quality…
How is PET recycled?
According to Petcore Europe, Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) was first developed for use in synthetic fibres by British Calico Printers in 1941. Although it was originally produced for this purpose, it was soon after that, in the mid-1960s, that it began to be used for packaging film, after which, in the…
Demand for recycled PET/PE will reach 43% in Europe by 2022
Consumer awareness of plastic waste is changing. This transformation is linked to the fact that collection and separation schemes for these materials, and particularly for PET, are gaining ground. Additionally, governments of many countries, and even the European Union itself, are making steady progress in their sustainability plans and increasingly…
Large companies join the circular economy: the Mondelez case
Mondelez is promoting several different initiatives to achieve the Circular Economy. Committed in more than 15 countries, Spain included, they are working to hit new milestones as part of its global target to ensure that 100% of its packaging is designed to be recycled by 2025, a rate which currently stands at a 94%.
Plastics and fashion come together to create a more circular and sustainable sector
To solve to this overabundant production and waste, both of plastics (of which currently, out of the total of 400 million tonnes of plastics produced per year, only 9% is recycled, according to UN data) and textiles, recycling stands out as the best alternative.
