Coveris has reportedly made significant progress with its No Waste vision, particularly through the introduction of ReCover, a process of recycling waste to promote a circular economy for plastics.
Coveris CEO Christian Kolarik said: “We are excited about this partnership with Interzero as it aligns perfectly with our No Waste vision. By integrating well-sorted post-consumer waste into our recycling processes, we are taking a significant step towards completely closing the loop.”
In June last year, Coveris opened a ReCover recycling facility in Lincolnshire, UK, for printed polyethylene film recycling.
As part of the latest collaboration, Interzero will supply its collected and sorted materials to Coveris’ ReCover facilities, where they will undergo a mechanical recycling process to produce high-quality recycled resins.

Together, we can make a substantial impact on reducing waste. The circular economy is a joint project that benefits everyone. We are shaping the circular economy of tomorrow – for a world without waste.”
