Plastic recycling really works!
Recycled PET bottles:
Does the telling count or is the count telling?
While others just talk about it, we already have this many 100% recycled PET bottles* in use:
That’s the world record for 100% recycling.

We for Recyclate
A functioning circular economy for plastic works by means of true plastic recycling of packaging from the Yellow Bag. This collection system is the perfect source of material for creating new packaging by means of mechanical recycling. When 10 old plastic bottles land in the recycling system, 10 new bottles emerge. That is true recycling in the interests of a climate-friendly circular economy.
Since 2012, with cooperation partners along the entire value chain, we have been developing innovative solutions for effective material recycling of plastic from household waste collections, which is based on resource conservation and Design for Recycling. The more sustainable the design of a product is, the more likely it is that less waste will be generated and less strain will be put on the environment. All that will help us to secure a sustainable future for generations to come.
