By GlobalData“The success of plastic recycling relies on consistent demand for PCR from brand companies and manufacturers. Companies and consumers must look beyond low prices.
“Recycling and using recycled content are the key ingredients to circularity, vital to best serving consumers, and creating a more sustainable, less wasteful world.”
The programme is in line with APR’s aims to increase supply and demand, while also improving the quality and communicating the value of recycled plastics.
In October last year, APR in the US urged California Governor Gavin Newsom to sign the ‘Recycling: Plastic Containers: Minimum Recycled Content and Labeling’ bill.
