A new synthesis study by Systemiq is the first in a series exploring circularity pathways for PET/polyester. Titled Circularity of PET/polyester packaging and textiles in Europe, it draws on insights from 80+ published reports and research and advice from industry experts to assess the current state of PET/polyester circularity in Europe and considers the potential role of chemical recycling – currently utilised in very low volumes – in complementing mechanical recycling, reuse and other circular economy approaches.
