The MIT team\u2019s research encompassed an analysis of PET bottle collection and recycling rates across various domestic states and countries with and without bottle deposit policies. They also examined the impact of existing bottle deposit policies and kerbside recycling programmes.<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s study indicates that a nationwide programme could boost recycling rates to 82%, a significant increase from the current stagnant rate of approximately 24%. The researchers found that the implementation of a uniform national bottle deposit policy could help meet the recycling targets set by proposed legislation and corporate pledges. The study also suggests that individual states should be responsible for the programme\u2019s implementation.<\/p>\n<p>According to MIT School of Engineering\u2019s associate dean and Jerry McAfee professor in engineering, Elsa Olivetti, policies should focus on increasing rates of recycling, as well as the entire cycle of supply and demand and the different players involved.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.packaging-gateway.com\/news\/mit-researchers-plastic-recycling\/\">Packaging Gateway<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-550\/\">MIT researchers claim bottle deposit programme may raise PET recycling rate<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[15153,575,5446,764,574],"class_list":["post-132166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bottle-deposit","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-pet","tag-recycling","tag-us"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=132166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132166\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=132166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=132166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=132166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
