After an investment of around SEK 1bn ($90m), on 15 November Swedish Plastic Recycling (Svensk Plaståtervin- ning) is set to open Site Zero, which it claims will be the world’s largest and most modern plastic recycling facility. The existing plant in Motala is

Vinyl alternative for records
Plastics distributor Albis and Greenyl, an Italian manufac- turer of sustainable vinyl, have developed a solution to the growing demand for eco-friendly products in the record industry. For the records, Albis is supplying a Skypet CR grade from SK Chemicals
which contains up to 99% chemically recycled PET waste (mass balance approach), resulting in a significant saving of 7.1kg of CO2e/kg compared to PVC. Records made from Skypet can also be fully recycled, making them a sustainable drop-in solution because
the material strengthens the circular economy beyond the end of the product’s life. Greenyl said this shows “how the material loop can be closed with the right ambition.” �

Swedish Plastic Recycling. “We are now entering a new era of plastic recycling. This plant will be the driving force for the transition that needs to be made worldwide to significantly reduce climate impact and the need for fossil plastic raw materials, and to make plastics part of the circular economy.” �
