The price issue (according to Sogedes) is a difficult matter because, as a result of competitive pressure in local recycling activities where "everyone is a Jack of all trades, so to speak” from collection to recycling, prices are also adversely affected. The downside is a significant number of companies who have sensed the opportunity to make a quick buck and have gone into the recycling business illegally. These non- registered companies, some of whom have only the most rudimentary knowledge when it comes to the various types of plastics, create and sell a problematic mix of materials and manage to evade the tax authorities with their sales figures. Here both Green Line and recycler Sogedes see eye to eye: these companies spring up like mushrooms and official prosecutions have only an insignificant effect. Sogedes says they definitely speak for all “genuine“ col- leagues in the sector when they express the wish that all those involved in the process chain should work in a sustained and conscientious way in order to protect quality and price stability.
