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.

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.

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. More details are here: gr3n-recycling.com
