It is the activities of the Packaging Cluster of the Czech Chamber of Commerce and Industry that clearly show the reason for the establishment and the proof of the generally used autonomy of all clusters of the Czech Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
In addition to large packaging waste management companies, it brings together designers of new packaging in a unique way, and uses this informal professional platform to communicate with sorting and especially recycling line technologists.
It is beyond belief that despite the flood of various advisory boards, government teams and the like, this has never happened in the past.
It is in the dialogue of experts who think in context and have recently been trying to agree on finding pragmatic solutions to packaging waste to make it easier to recycle that this is succeeding.
Other suggestions include the upcoming legislation on packaging waste management at EU level - the so-called PPWR, as well as sharing of best technologies, e.g. for sorting lines and support for chemical recycling.
The result is what we all need: more circular packaging.
As for the publicly monitored dispute over the possible introduction of mandatory PET bottle backup, practitioners point to the fundamental pitfalls of mandatory backup of beverage containers for the waste management as a whole, the functioning of separate collection and the risk of higher greenhouse gas emissions caused by this step.
