Appenzell IR introduces plastic collection
Industry and trade
Industry, trade and construction often consume large quantities of plastics, which usually accumulate after use in large quantities, unmixed and partly uncontaminated (e.g. wrapping film from pallets). Such waste is generally suitable for recycling. However, this potential is only partially exploited. For example, only just under a quarter of PE films from industry, trade and construction are recycled.
Less environmental impact
Another important reason is environmental protection. The collection of plastics helps to reduce environmental pollution. Plastic waste can be harmful to the environment, especially if it is not disposed of properly and ends up in ecosystems. By recycling plastics, companies can help to minimize these negative effects.
Companies that actively collect and recycle plastics can improve their public image and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and environmental protection. This can have a positive impact on how they are perceived by customers and business partners.
Innovation potential
Finally, the recycling of plastics also offers innovation potential and a competitive advantage. Companies that use recycling technologies and develop innovative solutions for the reuse of plastics can position themselves better in the long term.
The VSPR brings together well-known and large companies from industry, trade and construction that are committed to sustainable and innovative ideas and projects in the field of recycling various plastic fractions and products.
