BEYOND BOTTLES – THE FUTURE OF POLYESTER
This year’s Focus Topic “Beyond Bottles” highlights the importance of alternatives to PET recycling – in particular with regard to upcoming legal regulations and circular economy principles. Considering the variety of polyester types, micro-plastics and the increasing need to replace PET with alternative raw materials, the branch is now facing major challenges. Solutions to this could include an increase in textile-to-textile recycling, along with polyester alternatives from food waste and the increased deployment of natural fibers.
