Last week we hosted the annual meeting of the PLASTCYCLE project at NILU. It was an excellent opportunity to discuss our recently published study with industry partners and researchers.
During the meeting, we planned the next steps for a country-wide mapping of the chemical additives on polymers throughout the plastics’ life cycle. This mapping will help the industry bring eco-design into the design process and increase the recyclability of products.
We also discussed the potential impacts of implementing recycling strategies and exploratory scenarios toward reducing plastic pollution. We are looking forward to seeing the outcome of this project and its influence on the international efforts towards the plastic treaty and the efficient management of plastic waste.
Many thanks to all those contributing with their time and knowledge to this project!
