Corepla: National Consortium for the Collection and Recycling of Plastic packages was established in November, 1997 in accordance with law decree 22/97, taking over from the former Replastic Consortium, which only dealt with liquid containers, in accordance to the European legislation 94/62 concerning packing material and waste from packages in different material. The Consortium is now regulated by Law Decree 152/06. It is part of the "CONAI System" (National Packaging Consortium) and is a no-profit private system with a social character, financed by: the Environmental Contribution CONAI concerning packaging on the national market, (produced in Italy or imported, both empty and full) defined and managed by the companies through the same CONAI, therefore it is not subject to the public tax system; proceeds from sales of waste after recycling. At the beginning of 2012 it had 2,685 member companies, belonging to the entire life-cycle of plastic packaging (for B and C categories participation is entirely voluntary):
Category A: companies producing plastic material for the production of packaging.
Category B: companies producing plastic packaging.
Category C: companies using plastic packaging.
Category D: companies that recycle or recover plastic packaging waste after use.

Dentis Recycling Italy is a multinational family-run business established in 1987, specialized in PET (polyethyleneterephtalate) sorting and recycling from post-consumers bottles. Nowadays, the Group can account three different plants, respectively placed in Italy (Dentis Recycling Italy, S. Albano Stura-Cuneo), the headquarter of the Group, in Spain (Pet Comapania para su reciclado, Chiva – Valencia) and in France (Nord Pal Plast, Lesquin- Lille) with a total amount of 150 ktons of bottles processed each year. Thanks to the our high technological process, PET bottles from domestic waste collection could be mechanically treated to be turned in our Recycled PET product, known as PETALO® which is among the top highest quality products on the R-PET market thanks to its low contaminant content and its homogenous crystallized structure.
Depoly's recycling technology uniquely deals with pre- / post-consumer and post-industrial PET and polyester streams, typically turned down by the conventional recycling system, such as those containing mixed plastics, mixed colors, dirty plastic waste streams, as well as fabrics and fibers, recycling them back into their original monomers (PTA and MEG) of the same quality as the fossil-fuel-based incumbents, meaning customers no longer have to choose between PET quality and sustainability. Operating under room temperature and standard pressure, the DePoly process doesn't require pre-washing, sorting, melting, or separation of other materials, unlike most of the technologies out there. Ultimately, it not only offers a circular solution for plastic waste but is also energy efficient and reduces the carbon footprint originating from PET plastic production.

The ECOSENSE FOUNDATION is a non-profit organization that promotes the use and recycling of thermoformed PET containers within the framework of the Circular Economy Strategy on Plastics by means of certification, awareness and collaborative projects. Plastic Sense is the owner of the ECOSENSE and the RETRAY certification schemes: ECOSENSE is a process certification that provides transparency and traceability in the introduction of recycled PET from a tray-to-tray system and RETRAY is a product certification focused on verifying the recyclability of post-consumer tray and quantifying the amount of recycled PET incorporated.
It started operations in 2017 at the behest of companies within the industry and the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Environment, seeking to provide transparency and visibility for the work performed by companies in the thermoformed PET containers value chain in terms of sustainability and circular economy.

Gr3n SA is a Swiss company established in 2013. The company developed an innovative process, based on a new application of microwave technology to provide an efficient chemical recycling process of PET and polyester textile allowing an industrial implementation of this recycling method.
The robustness of the whole process allows to treat highly contaminated materials upcycling the PET recycling. The recycling process of gr3n produces the same monomers used for conventional synthesis of PET exploiting a full integration with the existing value chain of PET. The process is economically competitive with oil-based production of PET but creating a huge benefit for the environment. gr3n-recycling.com
