EDITOUR PETplanet Insider Vol. 23 No. 10/22 www.petpla.net 29 The most recent development is the increasing market demand for identification systems for PET trays. These systems must have appropriate sensors to distinguish between the monolayers of multilayer trays. Like with PET bottles, only monolayers can actually be brought back into the recycling system as approved material. And this brings us back to Perl’s wishes for the sector. For him it’s important that packaging design is recycling design. Only monolayer materials can be prepared for true recycling. Additives like optical brighteners and oxygen blockers make a true recycling more difficult too. Also collection rates must be increased. These days, it is in too many cases still not economical to extract recyclable plastics from the general waste streams. Political frameworks must provide accompanying support for recycling to take place within the country and also ensure that the material remains within the country. And plastic recycling must not be restricted to PET; PP/PE, PS and other plastic types can also be prepared. www.sesotec.com PETplanet at Sesotec’s premises in Schönberg, Germany Sorting systems with chute are suitable for removing contaminants or impurities from material that has already been shredded.
