Recycleye, Valorplast and Total have joined forces to launch OMNI, a solution to develop and improve technologies for recycling household waste.

Every year, recyclables save over 700 million tonnes in CO2 emissions, according to the Global Recycling Foundation. The organisation projects this will increase to one billion tonnes by 2030.

Redwave decided to expand its product portfolio of sensor-based sorting technology with conveyor belts specially optimised for use in the recycling sector.

The development of a circular economy to address the plastic waste emergency hinges on the creation of demand for high-quality recyclates.

Avery Dennison has announced the launch of AD Circular, a comprehensive program providing recycling of used paper and filmic label liners in countries across Europe.

Intelligent waste management start-up Recycleye has worked with the Coventry-based Manufacturing Technology Centre to bring artificial intelligence and affordable robotics to bear on the waste management industry.

According to statistics from Statista, global plastic production totalled 359 million metric tonnes in 2018.

The ever-increasing amount of plastic, its impact on biodiversity and contribution to climate change, and how to deal with it in a circular economy perspective have been on the European Union's policy agenda for years.

The global market for wastewater recycling and reuse is expected to reach nearly $22.3 billion by 2021, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%.

The Polymers for Europe Alliance was set up by the European Plastics Converters association (EuPC) in 2015 due to the shortage of polymers for converters in Europe
