As a result, stakeholders across the plastics value chain in Germany expect PET juice bottles that were previously not entering the bottle-to-bottle recycling stream, to now do so, significantly increasing the amount of rPET in bottle applications than are already present in the market.  We are proud that our solutions are helping stakeholders across the plastics value chain, in Germany and globally on the journey towards a plastics circular economy.

The first is that companies can develop solutions working with shorter chain length perfluorinated chemicals which have been considered theoretically less persistent and not currently on many restricted lists. Some states in the U.S. have proposed and/or have passed broad bans on products with PFAS, already leading to issues with short-chain replacements.

The ISCC PLUS certification uses a mass balance chain-of-custody approach, which involves third-party accounting and tracking of the bio-sourced content in materials. This method accurately accounts for and traces bio-derived feedstock throughout the value chain, from the raw materials to the final product.
