Plastic Recycling: The Circular Economy That's Already Working

"Plastic can't be recycled" - Busting the myth with data

Italy is a European leader in plastic recycling, with constantly growing numbers that prove the circular economy is already a reality.

Concrete 2024 results:

COREPLA reports a +4.6% increase in plastic packaging collected through separate waste collection compared to 2023. A positive trend that continues despite economic challenges.

What effective recycling means:

• PET is 100% recyclable without losing its fundamental properties (Source: Sanpellegrino Corporate, 2020)
• The recycling process produces significantly less CO2 compared to virgin plastic production

The economic and social impact: Italy's plastic recycling sector:

• Creates thousands of direct and indirect jobs
• Generates a growing economic multiplier effect
• Develops innovative technologies exported globally

The problem was never plastic itself, but the lack of infrastructure and recycling culture. Where these exist, the results are excellent.

We do our part by offering sustainable films (derived from natural sources like sugar cane) that are recyclable.

It's crucial that the entire supply chain acts consciously.
