23 Jun 2022 --- Henkel’s dishwashing detergent brand Pril is now being supplied in 100% recycled PET bottles, with 50% of the material originating from Germany’s yellow bag waste system. The remaining recyclate is sourced from recycled PET beverage bottles. Henkel plans to increase the volume of yellow bag recyclate further in this application and extend it to other brands. Austrian plastics manufacturer Alpla, which supports Henkel in its transition to more circular packaging, stresses that investment in modern recycling structures is only possible if there is sufficient industry demand for recycled material from yellow bag waste. Therefore, Henkel’s move “sends out an important message,” says Dietmar Marin, managing director of recycling at Alpla.
