“The PET value chain vs full circularity, in partnership with ICIS” offers a unique opportunity to discuss the most relevant matters that the PET value chain is facing – both now, and in the years to come. ​ The recently proposed amendments - in particular on the SUPD, the PPWR and the 1616/2022 Directive - ​ require ​ proper evaluations and indications from EU industry, to ensure the creation of a genuine level playing field, between EU and non-EU countries.

About Petcore Europe

Petcore Europe is the association representing the complete PET value chain in Europe since 1993.

Its mission is to ensure that the entire PET industry is well aligned to enhance its value and sustainable growth, to represent the PET industry before the European institutions and other stakeholders, to ensure that PET is positioned as an outstanding packaging material and recognised as environmentally sound, to support and validate innovative packaging solutions from a recycling perspective, and to work with all interested parties to ensure a continuous increase of PET post-consumer collection and recycling.

PET (PolyEthylene Terephthalate) is a strong but lightweight form of polyester. It is used to make containers for soft drinks, juices, drinks, water, edible oil, fresh food and dairy as well as household cleaners and other non-food applications. PET bottles and food containers, such as sheets and trays are perfectly recyclable while they help to reduce CO2 emissions and food waste.
