The launch of a joint company initiative
The manufacturers of beverage cartons have taken a decisive step in the recovery of the plastic and aluminum components of their packaging, as they committed to in their Roadmap to 2030. On April 29th 2021, the recycling plant Palurec GmbH was opened near Koln, Germany. As a result of this investment, this recycling plant increases the recyclability of the beverage carton to well over 90 %. The first stage of production will provide capacity for approximately 18,000 tonnes of input.
