Plastics previously considered not recyclable are becoming a valuable raw material that are shredded, packed and exported. They can be used to make shoes, bags, clothes and food packages. However, to meet today’s increased demand of high-quality recyclates, a new approach to integrated recycling needs to be introduced- Modern, highly integrated sorting, cleaning and flake making equipments are necessary to be a key contributor to the future of plastic recycling. Therefore, we thank The Coca-Cola Foundation for supporting the recyclers like @fifthseedrecycling with Complete Line needed to move the frontiers of thier business and meet the global requirements of PET flakes. #circulareconomyevent #empoweringcollectors #fifthseed #thecocacolafoundation

Celebrating another member innovation! As with many small plastic items, bottle closures and their tamper evident rings are common litter items. Their small size makes it uneconomical to pick them up individually for recycling, and increases the likelihood that they end up as litter in the environment. Polyoak Packaging, a founding member of the SA Plastics Pact, has tackled this challenge, leading to the release of their 28mm tethered closure. The tethered closure ensures the cap remains attached to the PET bottle once opened, preventing litter and ensuring that caps are recycled as well. https://lnkd.in/dhPBk3bK #circulareconomy #greeneconomy #PET #bottlecaps #tetheredcaps #HDPE #stoplitter
