AMERIPEN publiceert white paper over wereldwijde praktijken om herwinning van verpakkingsafval te bevorderen

AMERIPEN (American Institute for Packaging and the Environment) has released a white paper entitled ‘AMERIPEN Analysis of Strategies and Financial Platforms to Increase the Recovery of Used Packaging’. In the study global systems are evaluated that support improved packaging recovery and system financing.
AMERIPEN’s findings emphasized that waste management is a system and strategies to address waste challenges need to consider the complex interplay of programs amongst themselves as well as larger cultural and geographic elements. Within this framework, AMERIPEN identified three strategies which, when leveraged synergistically, appeared to have the greatest impact on increasing recovery rates and sustaining financing for collection and recovery. These include: unit-based pricing, also known as pay as you throw (PAYT), disposal bans, and recycling mandates (Persbericht AMERIPEN, 27 augustus 2013).
