New group backs PET monomer recycling


A PET Monomer Recycling special industry group has been set up by Petcore Europe, the PET recycling organisation. Recycling of PET back to monomers will improve the circularity of PET, says the group, as colours, additives and other polymers in multi-layer constructions can be fully recyclable. “PET Monomer Recycling has the potential to increase the quantity of available recycled PET and comple- ment the existing mechani- cal recycling capacities,” said Wim Hoenderdaal,


Chairman of the new industry group. The group will use the networking and outreach of the Petcore organisation to interact with legislators, regulators, NGOs and other stakeholders to ensure chemical recycling of PET is


an acceptable business and fulfills the future require- ments of business environ- ment. The group will also work to ensure health and safety aspects as well as product acceptance is achieved. � www.petmonomerrecycling.org


Durakerb reaches


milestone The 400,000th kerb made from recycled plastics has been installed in the UK. Made from 88% recycled polymer, Durakerb units (kerbs, kerbside and surface drainage) deliver a 73% reduction in carbon emissions per full load when compared to concrete, said the company. Durakerb, part of the


Econpro group, said this has saved the country 12m kg of CO² in the last decade, compared with a concrete counterpart. � www.durakerb.co.uk
