This progress shows that …………….
• All partners involved should maximise there effort to optimise the plastic recycling scheme to anefficient and effective system in order to lower cost;
• The integration of the deposit system for large PET bottles into the Plastic Heroes recyclingscheme is the next important step towards an efficient and effective system;
• To have one overall system is more consumer friendly, so that the recycling of more plasticpackaging waste will be stimulated;
• Today a lot of recycled material is are already used into new products, however the usage ofrecycled material should be increased;
• Therefore we need to stimulate innovation.
This progress shows that …………….
We are on our way of achieving a circular economy for plastic packaging!
