PETrecycling CZ is non-commercial, independent, free & unsponsored Czech web portal for funs, communities, administrative, law-makers, politicians, PET plastic industry etc. in the Czech Republic.

My closing statement read: "There is only one real effective and incentive method to encourage environmentally sound collecting of beverage one-way containers and it is deposit in combination with High-Tech R&D resulted Reverse Vending Machines!

EuPR calls bioplastics and oxo-degradables unsustainable

The PETrecycling.cz assessment based on R&D up-to-day results is, that it should be made clear, that all beverage containers, e.g. PET bottles, ALU cans and glass bottles, that are commercially imported into Czech Republic or sold here should be included in return systems with deposits - to encourage the consumers to take the bottles back

Europe's plastics waste generation nearly reached 25 million tonnes in 2008. Even though 51% of this amount has been recovered more effort is needed in order to fully realise its potential, according to the European Plastics Recyclers (EuPR).

The handling of post-consumer plastics waste is a challenging and multifaceted problem for which many solutions exist, such as mechanical recycling.

Therefore, the trade association has published a strategy paper entitled How to Increase Plastics Recycling (PDF, 1,81 MB, 24 pp.) that spells out some of the issues and approaches.

This paper first offers an analysis of the plastics industry profile, paying special attention to plastics recycling.

Second, it provides an overview of the current post-consumer plastics recovery operations, underlining the benefits of mechanical recycling.

EuPR has also spelt out 10 steps that it believes will increase the recycling of post-consumer plastics waste.

HOW TO INCREASE THE MECHANICAL RECYCLING OF POST CONSUMER PLASTICS

Close monitoring of the national collection systems and better harmonisation of the different European collection systems
Stop the use of unsustainable technologies (bioplastics and Oxo-degradables) for plastics. Collection systems should create separate streams for these new materials
Specific mechanical recycling targets for plastics in the Waste Framework Directive
Limit the export of plastics waste to secure supply for European recyclers
Favourable fiscal system for the European recycling industry
Effective solution offered to plastics recyclers to comply with Reach. All stakeholders should support recyclers in creating Reach-compliant Safety Data Sheets
Elimination of discriminating legislation or standards prohibiting the use of recyclates
Substantial increase of green public procurement and a mandatory minimum recycled content for eco-labels
Economic instruments to promote recyclates similar to the inclusion of the waste and recycling sectors into the ETS
Reinforced communication and cooperation with the whole value chain
