EU: Meer dan 66 miljard PET-flessen gerecycled in 2014

17 september 2015

According to a survey carried out by PCI PET Packaging Resin & Recycling Ltd., the equivalent of 66 billion 1.5L PET bottles were collected and recycled in Europe in 2014. Within Europe the collection rates vary considerably across the member states.
Looking at the 2014 collection rates shows that with 1,8 million metric tons of bottles and containers, PET collection has grown by 6.8% compared to 2013. Comparing this number to an estimated 3,1 million metric tons demand for bottles and containers placed in the market during this period suggests a 57% collection rate. In 2014, the growth in PET demand itself increased by 4.8%. (Persbericht Petcore Europe, 14 september 2015).
