Recyclate use, please - but what is the best way to do it? In response to this question, several associations have now published a comprehensive information brochure that plastics processing companies can use as a quick reference guide.<\/strong><\/p>

In addition to the recyclability of plastic products, the reuse of recycled plastics is at the centre of efforts to improve recycling management. In practice, questions often arise as to when a material is to be categorised as a plastic recyclate and how a distinction can be made between post-consumer (PCR) and post-industrial recyclates (PIR).<\/strong> These and other questions are clarified in a joint handout from the Gesamtverband Kunststoffverarbeitende Industrie e.V. (GKV), the Bundesverband der Deutschen Entsorgungs-, Wasser- und Kreislaufwirtschaft e.V. (BDE) and the Bundesverband Sekund\u00e4rrohstoffe und Entsorgung e.V. (bvse) and answered in a joint publication. explained using practical examples<\/strong>. The guide also provides information on traceability and product labelling.<\/p>

\u201eThe use of recycled plastics makes an important contribution towards a climate-neutral circular economy, as it reduces CO2 emissions in product manufacturing and dependence on fossil raw materials. Recyclates are already irreplaceable for the supply of raw materials in the plastics industry and are becoming increasingly important<\/strong>\u201e, says Dr Martin Engelmann, Managing Director of IK Industrievereinigung Kunststoffverpackungen e.V., responsible for the environment and consumer protection at GKV. \u201eWith the handout, we want to promote change in the industry and ensure a common understanding of the most important terms and transparency in communication<\/strong>\u201e, says Engelmann.<\/p>

\u201eStable sales markets have been established for mechanical plastics recycling, which has developed in Germany over the past 30 years. Recyclers in Germany supply more than 1.6 million tonnes of recyclates, 1.3 million tonnes of which come from the post-consumer sector, to the plastics processing industry.<\/strong> This corresponds to just under 12 per cent, or 9.1 per cent for PCR, of raw material requirements, and the trend is rising. Added to this are 640,000 tonnes of reused by-products,\u201c says Herbert Snell, Vice President of the bvse Plastics Recycling Association.<\/p>

\"The demand for recyclates will rise sharply in the future<\/strong>, because many companies have set themselves ambitious circular economy targets. Added to this are the recyclate quotas planned by politicians. First and foremost, we need clarity about what recyclates actually are,\u201c says Dr Andreas Bruckschen, Deputy Managing Director of BDE e.V. \u201eIn practice, the distinction between waste and so-called by-products in particular often causes difficulties<\/strong>. This is due to the complicated legal criteria that have to be examined in each individual case. The demarcation is crucial: Because without waste, there is no recyclate<\/strong>! Our new handout uses practical examples to show how this determination can be successful,\u201c continues Bruckschen.<\/p>

The brochure is available free of charge on the associations' websites.<\/p>
