17 Jul 2023 --- Research published by Systemiq presents a roadmap for achieving high-circularity and low-emissions systems for PET packaging and polyester textiles in Europe. The study titled “Circular PET and Polyester: A circular economy blueprint for packaging and textiles in Europe” offers a six point action plan for the industry, policymakers and investors to accelerate the circular transformation. PET packaging and polyester textiles are made from the same plastic molecule, which makes up one-quarter of consumer packaging (bottles and trays) and the vast majority of synthetic textiles (clothing, homeware and industrial) used in Europe.
