Cross-Sector Synergies and Circular Economy Integration:

 

  • Material Synergies Between Packaging and Textiles: PET is a common material used in both packaging and textiles, and PETCORE EUROPE’s expertise in PET recycling creates valuable synergies between these two sectors. Technologies initially developed for recycling PET bottles are now being adapted to recycle polyester textiles, resulting in economies of scale and improved recycling efficiency.
  • Circular Economy Leadership: As a key driver of the circular economy for PET packaging, PETCORE EUROPE aims to serve as a model for the textile industry, aligning with the EU Textile Strategy. The organization is well-positioned to integrate circular principles into textile manufacturing, encouraging a more sustainable and holistic approach to resource efficiency across multiple sectors.
