Technical Limits in Circularity for Plastic Packages

Technical Limits in Circularity for Plastic Packages

The current Dutch recycling value chain for plastic packaging waste (PPW) has not reached its full circularity potential, as is apparent from two Circular Performance Indicators (CPIs): net packaging recycling rate and average polymer purity of the recycled plastics. The performance of the recycling...
