Petcore Europe

Petcore Europe is a Brussels-based non-profit European trade association. Petcore was founded in 1993 to promote the collection, sorting and recycling of post-consumer PET bottles. It networks with national collection agencies, governments, and the recycling industry. Used PET, or polyethylene terphthalate bottles are light-weight but once collected, sorted and pressed into bales, they become a valuable feedstock for a range of products. End markets for recycled PET include polyester fibre, sheet, strapping, and new bottles. The focus of Petcore lies on ensuring the sustainable growth of post-consumer PET collection and recycling and that PET is positioned as a sustainable packaging material.

Events

Petcore Europe is organizing an annual Petcore Europe Conference open to everyone involved or interested in the PET supply chain. The participants include PET resin manufacturers, packaging designers and manufacturers, equipment manufacturers, brand owners, waste management organisations, recyclers, machinery manufacturers, representatives from the European institutions and European organisations interested in PET.
