BrauBeviale Forum on the theme of further ecological development of PET drinks packaging rPET for improving the PET bottle eco-balance

摘要

The new study "The use and recycling of PET drinks bottles in Germany 2015", about which the IK Industry Association for Plastics Packaging and films gave a talk, proved that the bottle deposit is responsible for the high recycling quota with PET bottles. Whilst 93.5% of all PET bottles are recycled, the count of non-refillable PET bottles with a deposit is 97.9%. The industry is therefore taking the target to introduce more rPET into the material cycle further. The average level increased in comparison to the drinks bottle production in the previous year, 2013 - despite the disadvantageous higher price for recycled as opposed to new PET.
