Need for integral approach in view of circularity

not all recyclate has to be similar to virgin plastic

The National Test Centre Circular Plastics has state-of-the-art technology and facilities for sorting and separating plastic waste streams. With testing and research on an industrial scale, it contributes to closing the plastic loop for packaging materials. But what is most important, says NTCP director Martine Brandsma, is to develop an integral approach in view of circularity. “Optimal recycling really doesn’t mean that all recyclate has to be similar to virgin plastic.”
