LIFE RECYPACK project will divert 57,000 tons of plastic waste every year

× The LIFE RECYPACK project will implement a new public-private waste management project for commercial plastic packages in line with the circular economy criteria.

The current management of commercial plastic wastes in the European Union does not meet the circular economy criteria. In 2013, the Member States generated more than one million tons, of which 95 per cent was landfilled.  

Coordinated by AIMPLAS the project is set to benefit the economy by €10.6 million (£9.4 million) every year. After the project, 57,000 tons of plastic wastes is expected to be diverted from landfills and destined for high-quality recycled plastic manufacturing.

During the project, the waste management of polyethylene and expanded polystyrene will be evaluated.

Four pilot experiences will be implemented to separate commercial plastic packaging waste made of polyethylene and expanded polystyrene in Spain and Italy, as well as two recycling experiences in Spain and Hungary. Once the project is completed, the experience will be repeated in over 250 cities.

Five years after its end, the project is set to reduce over 70,000 tons of plastic waste with a total of 57,000 tons of plastic waste diverted from landfill.
