NL: New 4PET plant ensures large scale recycling of PET-trays

The Dutch Packaging Waste Fund (Afvalfonds Verpakkingen) has made an agreement with 4PET Recycling to start recycling PET-Trays on a large scale from 2018. Until recently the technology for large scale recycling of PET trays was not available. The plant that is currently under construction in Duiven will be equipped with this technology and ensures a solution for the recycling of plastic trays on an industrial scale.
In the Netherlands, PET trays are collected in a mix with household plastic packaging waste. From spring 2018, several waste sorters in the Netherlands will sort and offer PET trays from plastic packaging waste to 4PET Recycling (Press Release 4PET Recycling, 13 November 2017).
