Demand for rPET (recycled plastic) in Spain already exceeds production capacity
Over the years, plastic has become an essential material for many applications and fields, some of which have been particularly relevant during COVID-19, such as medicine, transport, agriculture, or the safe packaging of all kinds of food. However, none of the plastic they use should be destined for a single…
European plastics industry strives to eliminate pellet losses
Industry launches development of European certification scheme for the Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) programme Zero pellet losses. Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) is a global initiative of the plastics industry born precisely for this purpose: prevent the unintentional release of plastic particles into the environment, whether in the form of…
How is sustainability achieved in the plastics supply chain?
Construction, automotive, real estate, medical, food, sports, education…. Almost all industrial sectors rely on plastics to enable their development and do business. However, this use must be based on the circular economy, i.e., less dependence on virgin materials and thus greater recyclability. To achieve this, it is imperative that the entire supply chain of the plastics industry remains involved, from manufacturing and design to end-of-life management
What is upstream innovation and why is it essential for the circular economy?
In a circular economy that seeks, as its ultimate goal, to achieve a world without waste, in which products have a second life, upstream innovation is one of the most promising ways to achieve it. It involves tracing a problem to its origin and tackling it there. In other words: instead of figuring out how to deal with large amounts of waste, why not prevent it from being generated in the first place.
Social networks and their influence on environmental awareness
Sharing information about leisure activities, social life or consumer habits is a daily occurrence on social networks. And one of those habits is precisely consuming in a more sustainable way. Data shows that the number of consumers who would pay more for an ecological or sustainable product has risen from…
The role of plastics in the sustainability of the automotive sector
Getting around by car is a common and, in many cases, a necessary habit for the vast majority of the population, especially for those who live in cities or on the outskirts of cities. However, the life of a car is not infinite. What happens when a vehicle reaches the…
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 targets…

Elegir plástico reciclado es sinónimo de cuidar nuestro planeta🌏Pero ¿sabrías decir en cuánto reduce las emisiones el PET reciclado?♻️Para... celebrar el #DiaDeLaMadreTierra, lanzamos esta pregunta. Puede que la respuesta te sorprenda. En una semana, en nuestro perfil
#EarthDay2021
💰Allocating funds to the inclusion and development of grassroots waste pickers helps reduce poverty and the transition to zero waste systems, ... according to @GAIAnoburn
✅We tell you about its potential for recycling in many countries in #BeyondRecycling 👉https://t.co/bWZmiGcA37
♻️PET is light, durable and recyclable. But of all packaging waste, plastic accounts for 30%, with PET packaging constituting 3%.
📈If more ... #PET was used, the overall plastic #recycling rate would substantially increase
