Wereldvraag naar gerecyclyed PP voor non-food toepassingen

19 september 2016

Demand for recycled polypropylene (PP) resin by major consumer brand companies is approaching 300 million pounds annually, according to a study by The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR). The 21 major consumer brand companies who responded also provided quality and quantity information for potential PP postconsumer resin (PCR) use in non-food contact applications. These companies alone identified demand of more than 280 million pounds of the recycled resin annually.
The survey also provides information on qualitative PCR components. Applications for PP PCR include tubes, rigid packaging, closures, containers, pails, crates, pallets and tubs (Persbericht APR, 23 augustus 2016).
