TOMRA calls for closing the loop on plastics and beyond |
|
| Munich/Mülheim-Kärlich, 31 May, 2022 (APA/OTS) - TOMRA continues to play a key role in closing the loop on PET beverage containers but recognizes that there is more to be done. Now political framework, bold decisions and smart investments in collecting, sorting and recycling should be used to improve circularity across all material streams and to overcome today's supply chain bottlenecks. |
"We have an obligation to work with all stakeholders to reduce the
mountains of waste and transform them into the valuable resources
they are", TOMRA's CEO and President Tove Andersen stated at TOMRA's
press conference held at IFAT. Although there has been considerable
progress in recycling, the pandemic and the ongoing war in Europe
have shown us that there is an urgency to decrease dependency on
primary materials. "Today, we invest approximately 10% of our
revenues in future-oriented activities to increase resource
efficiency, advancing the market for circular solutions, which we
are well-positioned to do. We have the technology capable of
maximizing collection and recovery rates. We can act now, optimize
waste management practices and fill existing gaps", concludes
Andersen.
Having established benchmarks for climate policy worldwide, the
European Green Deal, coupled with binding regulations and guidelines
for producers and manufacturers, drive the acceleration to a
circular economy. TOMRA urges all participants in the value chain to
see these specifications as an opportunity and to support their
implementation. "We have learned that mandatory legislation is
necessary in order to achieve goals and create markets," Dr. Volker
Rehrmann, EVP, Head of Recycling/Mining & Circular Economy,
explains. "However, before we can recycle larger volumes we need to
collect as much as possible. There are well-functioning collection
systems in place, but it is still not enough. Every day we lose
valuable resources to landfill and incineration where they are
buried and burned. This is low-hanging fruit and the material must
be collected, recovered and recycled."
Maximizing material circularity is not restricted to plastics.
There are more material streams to close the loop on, such as metals
and wood. "We must pay equal attention to these recyclables to
support reaching the EU's climate neutrality goals set for 2050",
said Tom Eng, SVP Head of Recycling. For example, the demand for
aluminum is expected to grow by 40% by 2050, a challenge for
aluminum producers with limited production capacities in Europe. The
good news is that recycled aluminum plays a critical role on the way
to a decarbonized world and supports producers' quest to increase
recycled content and their environmental commitments. A similar
scenario can be observed in the wood sector. Particleboard
manufacturers are looking for a cost-effective and environmentally
friendly way to source materials of which availability is currently
limited and that with sky-rocketing prices. Using recycled materials
in the production of wood-based or metal-based materials help
producers to overcome these challenges while reducing greenhouse gas
emissions, and resource depletion.
"If we leverage the power of intelligent technologies and closely
work with the industry, we can turn waste into value and reduce the
dependency on primary materials. Recycling is a key climate
mitigator and energy-efficient route to go when supporting a
sustainable transition, keeping materials in continuous use.
Whatever it takes to close the loop, we will get there", finished
Eng.
