These figures indicate stagnation compared to 2022, due to weaker demand amid a global polyolefin oversupply, as well as high inflation, high energy costs, and competition from lower-cost imports of both virgin and recycled polymers.<\/p>\n<p>While nearly all EU27+3 countries have implemented separate collection of rigid polyolefin waste, no notable improvement in collection rates was observed between 2018 and 2023. Further, only 42% of collected waste underwent sorting processes that rendered it suitable for recycling. The discrepancy between collection volumes and recycling input can be attributed to several factors, including incompatibilities with design-for-recycling principles, exports, and sorting limitations. Looking to the future, the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) sets ambitious recycled content targets that would require an additional 2 million tonnes of HDPE and PP recycling capacity by 2030 and a further 5.7 million tonnes by 2040. However, current market conditions\u2014 and recycling capacity estimates for 2024 \u2014raise significant concerns whether these targets can be met without decisive political intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recycling-magazine.com\/2025\/05\/05\/rigid-polyolefins-recycling-market-hits-standstill\/\">Recycling Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/2-706\/\">Rigid polyolefins recycling market hits standstill<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","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":[575,4156,764,445],"class_list":["post-139425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-polyolefin","tag-recycling","tag-waste"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139425","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139425"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139425\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139425"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139425"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139425"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
