Editor selection. Only what moves the post-consumer recyclate market in 2025/26.
Poland's Ministry of Climate published target EPR rates for 2026. Hikes range from +21% for wood to +137% for PS and PVC. FMCG brands across Europe are reviewing packaging portfolios.
First comprehensive report on Poland's deposit return system. Return rates exceeded forecasts, food-grade rPET jumped 18%, but municipal sorting plants are losing their most valuable feedstock.
ISCC PLUS v4.2 update enforces auditable physical-batch segregation in food-grade chains. Producers using mass balance get 18 months to adapt. Big implications for rPET and chemical recycling.
After a decade of pledges, three of the largest FMCG groups published revised 2030 recycled-content commitments in March 2026. Not all moves are downward — and the lessons are instructive.
EFSA tightened food-contact PFAS limits by 60% in January. Within 60 days, three European food-grade PET recyclers lost certification. Supply tightens further.
Post-consumer recyclate (PCR) is polymer recovered from packaging used by consumers — distinct from post-industrial recyclate. A guide to types, processes and applications.
Complete overview of chemical recycling in Europe: pyrolysis, glycolysis, methanolysis. 14 pilots, 3 commercial plants, total capacity 405 000 t/year.
Which certifications must a food-grade rPET supplier hold in 2026? Full overview of EFSA, FDA, ASTM, ISO 22000, BRCGS and a practical verification process.
ISCC PLUS is the global traceability standard for recyclates and bio-based materials. We explain how mass balance works, who benefits and what v4.2 changes in 2026.
Twelve concrete packaging redesigns from major European FMCG brands following new EPR fees. From Sensodyne and Dove to Coca-Cola Zero and Knorr — what changed and why.
