Bringing the <strong>PET\u00a0bottles and food containers<\/strong> as well as <strong>polyester textiles<\/strong> back to its constituents, monomers or low molecular weight components that allow purification means in principle <strong>endless re-use of these PET building blocks. This will improve the circularity of PET <\/strong>since colours, additives and other polymers in multi-layer constructions will be from now on fully recyclable. Monomer recycling helps solving the waste problem by giving all PET waste\u00a0value. After all efforts from consumers and\u00a0by the industry to collect and sort the plastic, we can give a guarantee that PET is recycled and does not leave the circle to\u00a0incineration or landfill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8220;<\/strong>PET Monomer Recycling has the potential to\u00a0increase the quantity of available recycled PET and complement the existing mechanical recycling capacities<strong>&#8220;<\/strong>, stresses <em>Wim Hoenderdaal, Chairman of the new Petcore Europe Special Industry Group<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Petcore Europe<\/strong>, the industry organization representing the whole PET value chain, launched the \u201cSpecial Industry Group &#8211; SIG\u201d to establish a strong and sustainable value chain in the development of re-using the monomers from PET waste.<\/p>\n<p><em>Christian Cr\u00e9pet, Executive Director of Petcore Europe<\/em> explains:<strong> &#8220;<\/strong>The mission of this new group is to facilitate a platform to position PET monomer recycling as a viable addition to the established mechanical recycling process, <strong>enhancing the circularity of PET<\/strong>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The SIG will use the networking and outreach of the Petcore Organization to interact with legislators, regulators, NGOs and other stakeholders to ensure chemical recycling of PET is an acceptable business and fulfills the future requirements of\u00a0 business environment.
