“The number and quality of entries for this year’s awards has been outstanding, especially in the Household & Leisure Product category, ” said Ton Emans, President of Plastics Recyclers Europe. “All of the shortlisted products and projects are made in Europe and every product contains a minimum of 50% recycled plastics. The success of these awards reflects the increasing collaboration we see along the whole plastics value chain from brand owners, packaging designers, raw material producers, equipment manufacturers and more.”
“Congratulations to all our finalists. The depth and diversity of projects and products prove the commitment to the recycling of plastics today,” said Matt Barber, Global Events Director, Crain Communications. “In the five years since the Plastics Recycling Awards Europe were founded, it is heartening to see just how extensively plastic products are now specifically designed to be recycled.”
