Danone, Unilever and others join forces to help tackle plastic waste with BP’s enhanced recycling technology
The consortium intends to combine the capabilities and experience of its members to develop a new circular approach to dealing with PET plastic waste.
ALPLA, Austria; Britvic plc, UK; Danone S.A., France; Unilever, London; REMONDIS Recycling GmbH & Co.KG, Germany; and BP, London, joined forces to utilize BP’s enhanced recycling technology to create a new cross-industry consortium to develop a global circular economy for plastics.
The new consortium aims to help address the problem of plastic waste by accelerating the commercialization of BP Infinia enhanced recycling technology, which is designed to turn opaque and difficult-to-recycle (known as ODR) PET plastic waste into recycled feedstocks that can be used to make new high-quality PET plastic packaging again and again, with no loss in quality.
