In the latest episode of the ICIS Sustainably Speaking podcast, PETCORE Europe’s Jose‑Antonio Alarcón talks to Matt Tudball, ICIS Senior Editor, Recycling, why PET thermoform recycling remains significantly behind bottle recycling and what must change as the EU’s Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) approaches.
He outlines efforts to move from theory to real‑world compliance, including tray‑to‑tray recycling demonstrators and the development of functional barrier technologies under Regulation (EU) 2022/1616. Alarcón also warns that progress will depend heavily on earlier investment and stronger engagement from packers and retailers, despite growing technological readiness across the recycling value chain.
The PETCORE Europe Thermoforms Conference on 18-19 June 2026 in Valencia, Spain.
Key topics discussed:
- PET thermoform recycling lags far behind bottles
- PPWR demands proven, scalable recycling solutions
- Tray‑to‑tray recycling is achievable, not theoretical
- Functional barriers critical for food‑contact approval
- Packers and retailers remain key bottleneck
- Early action and enforcement needed to meet targets
