Petcore approves the use of the alloy up to 10% of PET/PTN of the future company
August 8, 2008
The Expert Committee of evaluation in Pectore, whose mission is to determine the impact of the new packaging and additives on the quality of the recovered material for recycling, has come to a conclusion: that the future BarPET/BeerPET to increase the barrier against gas will not have a negative impact on the current recycling of PET in Europe, at levels above 10 per cent of the total number of bottles.
Pectore recognizes the need for innovation, and highlights the fact that barrier systems in the bottles are accumulated in the total volume of waste of bottles. In the case that the use of a new barrier system or the strong concentration of old systems barrier have an adverse effect on the resulting recycled PET quality, Pectore reserves the right to return to carry out tests and to re-evaluate its position in regard to the technology adoption.
Pectore (recycling of PET in Europe) is a European non-profit located in Brussels.
