PETCORE EUROPE is a Brussels based, non-profit business organisation, representing the entire PET value chain.
Our vision is to achieve widespread recognition of the performance of PET as a circular material of choice for packaging and to make sure that PET is collected and recycled. PETCORE EUROPE’s priority is to focus on circularity and to communicate PET as a circular and environmentally sound material through innovation evaluation, design for recycling guidelines and direct engagement with the entire PET value chain and decision makers. Hence ensuring that all stakeholders have a broad understanding of the market needs for consumer safety, environmental impact, sustainable resourcing and processing, alongside a fully circular business model.
PETCORE EUROPE is recognised as the PET pioneer that produced the first guidelines for PET bottle recycling and has conducted annual surveys on PET recycling since 1997. We represent the PET industry towards the European institutions and other stakeholders and support and validate innovative packaging solutions from a recycling perspective. At PETCORE EUROPE we work with all interested parties to ensure a continuous increase in PET post consumer collection and recycling. Join us, today and to improve PET circularity!
